FILM COMPETITION 


We are inviting entries of films to be shown in competition at this year's Roehampton Human Rights Film Festival, which will take place between December 5th and December 10th.

Full details & schedule of events available here

Entries will be screened at the festival and the best film in each category will receive a prize at the closing night gala on December 10th. 

The films will be judged on a combination of their passion and commitment to human rights, as well as the case that the film makes concerning a particular human rights issue, rather than simply on technical ability.


SHORT FILM COMPETITION

The short film competition is open to current Roehampton students. You will make a short film (approximately 5-10 minutes) responding to the question 'what do human rights mean to you'? We would particularly welcome entries that address one of the following themes - 'popular uprising', 'migration/immigration', 'lgbt rights', 'environmental rights', 'womens' rights', 'Israel/Palestine'. 

To be considered for screening and competition, DVD copies of films must be received by 2pm on Friday 2nd December and should be delivered to Dave Tinham in Hirst 209 or William Brown in QB011. We welcome entries from students with little or no experience of making film in the past.

The best short film will receive a prize and be screened in Du004 at the closing gala of the festival on Saturday 10th December

MOBILE PHONE NEWS REPORT COMPETITION

We also invite entries from either Roehampton students or staff of short news reports (1-2 minutes) made with mobile phones, either responding to the question 'what do human rights mean to you'?, or reporting upon or reviewing the Roehampton Human Rights Film Festival itself. 

To be considered for screening and competition, films should be uploaded to a web-based video sharing site of your choice, and then the URL of the film sent to Dave Tinham or William Brown by 2pm on Friday 9th December at the latest. 

We particularly welcome entries from students with no experience of citizen journalism: there will be a workshop to learn how to make short news reports with mobile phones on the opening day of the Film Festival between 4 and 6pm on Monday December 5th in Du103.

The best short news report will receive a prize and be screened in Du004 at the closing gala of the festival on Saturday 10th December.
