Reel Change Short Film Competition: Entries Close 15 August

HRAFF and the Make Poverty History Coalition are excited to announce the Reel Change short film competition. Reel Change is seeking powerful and innovative films from Australia and around the world that address the human impacts of climate change.

Open to any genre, including documentary, narrative, animation, music video and experimental, we are looking for short films that deal with the issues of climate change, poverty and human rights. The best films will be screened at the 2008 Human Rights Arts and Film Festival in November and December and used as part of Make Poverty History's climate change campaign.

Thousands of dollars worth of cash and in-kind prizes awarded for the best Australian and international short film. To be eligible, films must have been made after 1 January 2007 and must be less than 15 minutes in duration.

Submission deadline: 15 August 2008. For submission guidelines, visit www.hraff.org.au. Email reelchange@hraff.org.au for inquiries.
