Northamptonshire’s leading short film festival returns

Published: 2 June 2010

Film Northants returns for its third year, in association with Cineworld Cinemas, to give county film-makers the chance of watching their own film at the cinema and winning a £500 Jessops gift card, cinema passes and exclusive film merchandise

The successful competition invites people of all ages to get creative and enter a film of no more than five minutes, which must be filmed on location in Northamptonshire.

All of the festival entries will be watched and shortlisted by a panel of judges before going to a public vote to identify the first, second and third prize winners. The Judges’ Choice award will also be returning again this year.

The judges are confirmed as Ms Canter, Becky Adams of Reelscape Films, Tim Coley, film lecturer at The University of Northampton and Rob Rowe manager of Cineworld. The festival is run by independent organisation Film Northants and funded by Grassroots Grants Fund, managed by Northamptonshire Community Foundation.

The deadline for entries is 12 noon, August 20.

The shortlisted films will be screened at a special red carpet awards ceremony at Cineworld, Sixfields on September 20. The event will be hosted by national film critic Quentin Falk and the awards will be presented by The Apprentice finalist Claire Young.
