Like speedy cinema? Then you might want to check out the second annual 24-Hour Film Contest, presented by The Milwaukee International Film Festival (MIFF) and the Milwaukee Art Museum. The contest takes place July 19-20 at the museum.
The 24-Hour Film Contest challenges teams of up to eight people to create a five-minute film in just 24 hours. The contest kicks off on July 19 at 10:30 a.m. in the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Lubar Auditorium, where filmmakers will be assigned a specific theme to incorporate into their original film. From there, filmmakers will race around the clock to produce and submit their film by 10:30 a.m. on July 20.
A panel of judges will view the complete short films and select the best film to debut on-screen during the 2006 Milwaukee International Film Festival. A special screening of selected films will take place in the Lubar Auditorium on July 20 at 6:15 p.m. The screening is free with general museum admission and is open to the general public.
In addition to having their film screened at the 2006 film festival, the contest winners will also receive a year-long membership to the Milwaukee Art Museum and full festival passes to the fourth annual Milwaukee International Film Festival, October 19-29.
Participants are encouraged to register by July 9 to ensure a spot. Additional information is available online at milwaukeefilmfest.org or by phone at (414) 225-9740.
