The Emmaus Arts Commission has decided on a date, rules and time period for the 4th Annual Student Horror Film Festival. We have decided to extend the amount of time students have to create, conceptualize, shoot and deliver a less than 6 minute film. What we have seen over the years, since we began this contest as a 48-hour event is the quality of cinema that we now receive.
Last year we gave the student 72 hours to perform the above task. We added into the contest a 2-hour seminar on film techniques, which many of the students found helpful. Our goal for this film festival is to target teachers within visual communication, AV and film departments to use our film contest as an outlook for many students who need a way to express their creativity, dedication and team work. This year’s festival is 96 hours because we see that students need access to equipment that schools have.
The festival begins on October 10th at 6:00 pm in Downtown Emmaus. Our rules and regulations will be posted on our website, http://www.emmausarts.org/ at that time. This year’s event will be shown at Eyer Middle School in Macungie, PA on November 1st.
I would like to thank the following companies who have recognized our event and support this year’s festival:- MetroMix
- Olympus
- PA Council of the Arts
- Peachpit Press
Also all the patrons who purchased ads in our full color brochure, thank you so much for your support.
