Greetings,

Filmaka’s aim is to encourage and inspire filmmakers (a.k.a. filmakas) from all around the globe with its upcoming July competition.

Our new theme is “Lost And Found”. Following the incredible response to our first seven competitions, we are excited to see how filmakas explore this new challenge.

The deadline for all uploads is midnight (PST) 30th of July. Film entries must run between 1-3 minutes in length and can be in any language (English subtitles are encouraged).

Each month the top 15-20 filmakas win cash prizes and the chance show their filmmaking talent to our award-winning jury. We are honoured to have industry professionals such as Colin Firth, Werner Herzog, Neil LaBute, John Madden, Paul Shrader and Wim Wenders as part of our jury. They have been very impressed by the quality of the work they have judged thus far.

Our jury picks three winners every month. There are more prizes and all three are allowed to compete in our ‘Filmaka of the Year’ contest at the end of 2007, where one Director wins a feature film deal.

Entry is free to all students. Simply email us from a valid school/university email address at - [email protected]
