Betting on Shorts 2008: Call for Submissions

Betting on Shorts invites filmmakers from around the world to submit short films on the theme of "Money Money Money" in the film festival that lets you bet on the winners.

Deadline: 1 September 2008

Betting on Shorts invites filmmakers from around the world to submit short films (of any kind: animation, music video, artist films, narrative, documentary etc.) up to 10 minutes long on the theme "Money Money Money".

"Don't try to keep up with the Joneses. They have more money than we." Dizzy Gillespie

Think about the poor and the stinking rich, the stingy and the philanthropists. Think about what you could do with a million, but don't forget what some people can do without a penny. You could explore capitalism, communism or globalisation. If you feel like it check out the price for a barrel of oil. If you think money can buy you love, then make a film about that. And what about haggling, gambling and shopping therapy? Don't try to keep up with the Joneses but do better than them and send us the best film you can make!

Films will be screened at the ICA on 21 November 2008, and simultaneously in other European cities. Films are judged by local juries in each city - the film that has won in most cities will be awarded a prize, and the audience will be able to bet on which film will be the winner.
