CORNWALL FILM FESTIVAL OPEN FOR ENTRIES
After a successful move last year to the sparkling new Lighthouse Cinema in Newquay, the Cornwall Film Festival team are thrilled to confirm that the Festival will be returning there in 2012.The Festival dates, 8th to 11th November, will include a fourth day of programming, jam-packed full of outstanding films, workshops and special events.
To celebrate its 11th year, the CFF is launching a new, more inclusive version of its long-running Cornish-language short-film competition. In partnership with Cornwall-based production company o-region and sponsored by MAGA Cornish Language Partnership, the “90-Second Kernewek Film Challenge” will combine elements of the ever-popular Big Pitcher event with the promotion of Cornish in filmmaking.
The challenge involves making a 90-second film, of any genre, that uses the Cornish language in a significant way. The top 25 entries will be screened in a juried competition at the Cornwall Film Festival in November. Cash prizes will be awarded for first (£1,000), second (£500) and third (£250) place, along with an audience award (£250), to be voted on at the event.
