FORUM International Short Film Competition
The Forum on Law, Culture & Society is currently accepting film submissions for our 2014 International Shorts Competition on a legal or justice theme!
If you could circulate this information to your students or interested colleagues, it would be greatly appreciated!
“Legal theme" may be broadly construed. Entrants are free to choose any subject in which the relationship between law, justice, and society can be fashioned into a unique visual story. For example, films could be about rights that have been denied, harms that have gone unaddressed, the aftereffects of courtroom decisions, government regulations and statutes, or an attempt to take a new look at what “justice” really means.
Any genre (animation, comedy, documentary, drama, musical, sci-fi, etc.) is permitted. Films should run 20 minutes or less, there is no minimum runtime requirement.
Finalist shorts will be screened at the FOLCS Awards Night during the Ninth Annual Forum Film Festival in New York City in October 2014. Each year the Film Festival features renowned filmmakers, actors, writers, journalists, public intellectuals, and members of the legal profession. The Film Festival also attracts overflowing and diverse crowds of film enthusiasts, which provides a great platform for showcasing your winning work! The night will open with a red carpet for our attending filmmakers and will include an awards presentation and reception. In addition, the audience has the opportunity to vote on which short will receive the Audience Favorite Award! Past Forum guests have included acclaimed film directors Oliver Stone and Robert Benton, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, actress Susan Sarandon, screenwriters Henry Bean and Larry A. Gross, and actors John Turturro, David Strathairn, Alec Baldwin, and Richard Dreyfuss, and author and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Elie Wiesel.
