In The Short Film Slam, the first 2 minutes of each short film
will be played and then the audience will vote on whether
or not to watch the rest of it. Yes, it’s scary but you will learn
a lot about how to engage an audience – and how people
lose them. We are seeking short films nominated by the

You are eligible to enter if your short is also programmed in
another strand.
The only requirements are:
- The whole film is not longer than 20 minutes
