2007 SHORT & SHARP PITCHING

2007 SHORT & SHARP PITCHING COMPETITION: CALL FOR ENTRIES

It’s time again for our ever-popular OPEN CHANNEL Short & Sharp Pitching Competition… with a difference! In 2007 OPEN CHANNEL is proud to partner with the inaugural Human Rights Arts & Film Festival (HRAFF) in presenting Short & Sharp. This year, participants are asked to submit pitching proposals within the Festival’s themes of Freedom of Expression, Right to Livelihood, Right to Life, Liberty and Security, and Human Rights in Australia. The winning participant will receive funding to complete their film project within a three-month period for screening at the HRAFF, RMIT Capitol Theatre, Melbourne 29 Nov – 2 Dec 2007.

The project must be no more than 10 minutes in length and can be a short film of any genre (comedy, drama, documentary, experimental). The pitch can be presented by one or more people but must be no more than 5 minutes long.

As a ‘pitcher’, you will be one of seven lucky contestants as part of the Short & Sharp Pitching Competition Event on Wednesday 22 August, at Cinema Nova. Short & Sharp is your opportunity to hone the spiel and discover what it takes to sell an idea before a judging panel and live audience!

Entrants must be current OPEN CHANNEL members, or join with entry.
