Raindance Open Shorts Night

What is the Raindance Open Shorts Night?

Filmmakers present their work and have the opportunity to network & discuss their creations with the audience and filmmakers alike. 

Both industry professionals and first-timers bring their shorts, making the quality of cinema at each event both diverse and entertaining. 

And with such a broad spectrum of new work being screened, each event is a genuine reflection of the current output of the London indie filmmaking community.

The aim is to create a pathway for finding local gems, and making them eligible for Raindance’s official selection.

 

The top 5-10 films will be screened OFF COMPETITION in a special Shorts Program Playlist at the 2023 Raindance Film Festival online platform.

 

Raindance Film Festival Volunteer

Raindance can’t run without its army of fantastic volunteers and while this work is unpaid we’re confident that it will be worth your while. Not only is it a good way to see an important side of the UK film industry, but you’ll also have amazing opportunities to meet like-minded people and to network with industry professionals.

Each year we recruit around 100 volunteers, a perfect way to get involved for anybody wanting to gain work experience whilst broadening their film knowledge.

IMPORTANT: Please note you must be 18 to be eligible and commit to at least 5 full days or 10 half days between 26 October – 05 November 2022.

L'ALTERNATIVA 2021 CALL FOR ENTRIES

The Call for Entries for the next edition of l'Alternativa is now open!

L’Alternativa, Barcelona Independent Film Festival, celebrates its 28th edition. We offer filmgoers, filmmakers and industry professionals a unique opportunity to discover and enjoy screenings and activities that value creative freedom, diversity, innovation, commitment and thought-provoking reflection.

L’Alternativa will take place from 15 to 28 November 2021, and will be a hybrid event: onsite* and online.
The main onsite venue is the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB).

Open Call for Poster Design

For this year's festival edition, we are looking for a poster that creatively approaches the diverse topics related to human rights.

The design should work both as a poster and in an adapted form as a sticker and folding flyer.

It is important to us that the poster design does not fall back on the clichéd or stereotyped images and representations which are often reproduced in the human rights context. It should not be an explicit treatise or representation of human rights, in which prejudices, dualisms or power differences are being reproduced, but rather a sensitive approach to this complex topic.

International Endoscopic Film Festival

Axle Contemporary seeks short video works utilizing endoscopic camera footage.

People have always been finding ways to look inside, behind, and beyond.  With the invention of the endoscopic camera we can now easily look inside holes and pipes and bodies.

Today endoscopes are routinely used for arthroscopic surgery, and colonoscopy. Plumbers have adopted the technology for diagnosing blockages, feeding borescopes deep into household and municipal sewer pipes. As the technology had blossomed, uses for the endoscope have expanded. Mechanics look inside machines, biologists look inside underground nests, and treasure hunters look into storm drains. Endoscopic cameras are now available for as little at $20.
