For people who like making movies

Competitions

We have a number of competitions annually covering a wide range and variety of subjects creating a friendly atmosphere in a competitive environment which provides all members with chances to win one of the many trophies.

Both the Club and individuals have achieved awards in both local and international competitions over the years but most members are content to enjoy the company of fellow enthusiasts.

Unless stated otherwise the maximum length of any film or video is 20 minutes and competitions are open to both video and cine entries. Anyone submitting a film in a format other than dvd, Blu-ray disk or an MPEG 2 or MPEG 4 file on a USB memory stick must bring their own equipment to play it. (Be aware that memory sticks are not entirely reliable as a source.)
