Submissions to the 2017 London Surf / Film Festival x Reef Shorties short film competition are open. Entry forms are available online HERE.
Now in its seventh year, this prestigious annual event has fast become the showcase for homegrown filmmakers and surf creatives.
“We established The Shorties to give emerging and established surf filmmakers from Britain and Ireland a platform on the world stage.“ says London Surf / Film Festival Director Demi Taylor. “While the main festival is open to all The Shorties is exclusively about shining a spotlight on the wealth of creative talent on our shores.“
Until September 10 filmmakers from or based in Britain and Ireland are invited to submit their short films of up to five minutes in length that explore any aspect or angle of surfing through documentary, comedy, action, arthouse, animation or anything in between. It’s not about whether your waves are big or small, it’s about the way you chose to shoot them. Or don’t. After all there’s more than one way to tell a surf story.
“It’s a testament to quality of filmmaking on show that each year the winning Shortie has gone on to make an impact on both a national and global level, including 2011 winner ‘Uncommon Ideals’ by Chris McClean, ‘The Shaper‘ from Crayfish Films, ‘Sea Fever’ by Tim Davies, ‘Out of the Black and Into The Blue’ by Luke Pilbeam, Winter Glow from Kev L Smith and last year’s winning short ‘Call Me Peg Leg’ from Mattr. Media which explored the world of adaptive surfer Rik Peg Leg Bennett.”
