Sefton Short Film Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
S2F2, the Sefton Short Film Festival is an independent film festival based in Sefton, Merseyside to the North of Liverpool. The festival first began in 2005.
This annual event runs for 2 days in October and exhibits a number of short films, spread over 12 hours of screenings. The 2007 Sefton Short Film Festival exhibited 65 films and attracted submissions and guests from across the world.
The festival was originally established in 2005 by Ann Monks. It is intended not only to be a place where new filmmakers can have a chance to have their work seen by a larger audience, but also as a way to get more people interested in short films as a medium.
The festival has also funded local filmmakers by organising film production courses. These course cover all aspects of film making, from initial visualisation and script writing, through planning and shooting including camera work and sound recording, down to final editing and post production techniques.
The festival has been supported by Frank Cottrell Boyce, writer of Millions and 24 Hour Party People, Sally Bankes from Little Britain and Opiate Of The People Films.
Submissions for the S2F2 short film festival are welcomed from around the world and are usually accepted from April.
