Are you a budding or established filmmaker but can't get your film on TV?

In January 1998, The LOUD Media Festival of Youth Culture and the Arts has secured airtime for young filmmakers to present their short films on television.

The LOUD Televised Film Festival will showcase the next generation of Australia's cinematic talent - everything from drama to experimental work, documentaries to animation.

Films chosen for the festival will be shown on both free-to-air and pay TV. As well as exposing their work to hundreds of thousands of viewers around the nation, filmmakers will also receive a one-off licensing fee.


GUIDELINES

To be eligible to be a part of the LOUD Televised Film Festival the director of the film must be an Australian citizen or resident and be 12 - 25 years of age at the time the film was completed.

The festival is open to any short film (16mm or 35mm) or video (screening copy must be broadcast quality video) of up to 30 minutes in length, completed in the 2 years prior to the deadline date.

Deadline for Submissions: 1 October 1997
