The competition
The competition rewards the most skilful and appropriate use of the music within a short film. It should not be seen as a ‘music video’ but encompass the qualities that distinguish the best in short film making. There will be a Thousand Pounds cash prize for the winner plus other prizes such as equipment and time in post for other shortlisted film makers. All entrants will be offered a discount on membership to Shooting People, the indispensible networking resource for independent film makers
The music
In addition to our increased presence across numerous esteemed film festivals, we have worked with many great independent record labels and publishers. In 2009 these include 4AD, Asthmatic Kitty, Bella Union, Big Dada, Digital Hardcore, Catskills Records, Bug Music, Chemikal Underground, Mute Song, Ninja Tune, Rough Trade, Rotters Golf Club, Saddlecreek, The Leaf Label and Wichita.
The award event and screening
After the painful experience of watching guests turned away as our last event went over capacity we are looking at new venues for next year’s ThinkSync Films screening and afterparty. It will be held in conjunction with the 11th anniversary Rushes Soho Shorts Festival. More information about the 2009 event will be on this site later this year. In the meantime all the latest news can be found on our blog.
