Submissions now open for 10th Liverpool Film Night at FACT

Film Night: 17 November 2015, 18.30 – 21.30

After a year away, the city’s biggest celebration of Merseyside’s new film talent returns to FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) on 17 November to celebrate its 10th anniversary! The event shines a light on the region’s up and coming film talent and offers Merseyside filmmakers a chance to see their short films on the big screen in front of industry experts. All films go through a rigorous selection process and are curated by a professional industry judge – this year will see actor and writer Celyn Jones as the host of the evening and head judge.

Filmmakers working in any medium are invited to submit their films for consideration for this year’s event. All genres are welcome: drama, comedy, animation, documentary, experimental or horror – with the restrictions that the film must have been made within the last 18 months and be no more than 15 minutes in length.
