Everyone’s a Critic!
Thursday, July 2, 2009 at 12:22PM Call for Entries – May 21st – 6th July
MIFF and Portable Film are excited for you to be the first to know
about a new competition. Up for grabs are FREE passes to MIFF 09,
where everyone’s a critic!
To celebrate the launch of the Melbourne International Film Festival
2009, Portable is launching the Everyone’s a Critic competition in
association with MIFF!
What you need to do from now till July 6th 2009 is to create a 30
second clip involving the line “Everyone’s a critic.” There are no
genre, format or production limitations- they just have to be your
great ideas put into 30 seconds! Now get critiquing!
...So, Portable Film Festival wants you to get a little critical. To
celebrate the launch of the Melbourne International Film Festival
2009, Portable is launching the Everyone’s a Critic competition in
association with MIFF!
It’s true, everyone’s a critic. From the moment I give my coffee three
stars in the morning, to the time I dismiss my leftovers as forced and
derivative, a healthy dose of criticism gets me though my day…
…and Melbourne International Film Festival knows that, at heart,
there’s a little David and Margaret endearingly rambling at each other
inside all of us! ‘Everyone’s a Critic’ is the tagline for the 2009
festival, and we want you to take on the role of selling MIFF this
year…
Melbourne International Film Festival is an iconic Melbourne event;
with 185,000 yearly moviegoers, it’s also Australia’s largest film
festival, and one of the oldest film festivals in the world. Not a
hard sell, right? Well, you’ve got 30 seconds to fill to get us a
movie or promo spot that creatively promotes Melbourne International
Film festival, including the tagline ‘Everyone’s a Critic’…
You can get as creative, and as crazy as you want, with; just keep it
under 30 seconds, and be sure to include those three magic words,
“Everyone’s a Critic.” There are major prizes up for grabs, including
two full festival passports for the winner, valued at over $500. The
audience favourite will also grab a double pass to MIFF’s Closing
Night and Screening party, and every finalist will receive a double
pass to a MIFF session of their choice! What’s more, the winning
content will also be featured online and onsite at Melbourne
International Film Festival 2009!
You’ve got until July 6th, 2009 to get us your film. We’ll announce
the finalists and present them on Portable Film Festival from July
13th – 17th, where our judges will make their decision, and our
audiences will make theirs…
All submissions must be received by 5pm, July 6th, 2009.
