EVENTS / OPPORTUNITIES: 100 second film festival (GLOBAL)

SOURCE: http://100second.ltc.org/

The 100 second film festival is the festival for everybody. What do we mean?
First off, at 100 seconds - anybody can create a video and participate.
There are no restrictions on theme or subject matter - whatever you have in
mind - you can do it! Secondly, all the entries we receive will be published
to the web and catalogued so that you can hand pick your own favorites and
screen a 100 second festival in your community. By using a Creative Commons
license this festival can go anywhere. This project of Lowell
Telecommunications, LTC, is truly a festival like no other - a dynamic
stream of content which is ever evolving where public access mingles with
the avante garde and we want you to be a part of it. The premiere public
screening is July 15th at Evos Arts in Lowell, MA. So get your submissions
going!

1) Make your own 100 second piece

2)License your work under the Creative Commons {more}

3) Send the tape/dvd/file to us and we'll compress it OR do the compression

(which can be anyone, including yourself!)
1st Deadline for entries May 30th

5) Show the festival at local venues - public screenings, local cable
