GOTHAM SCREEN Film Festival and Screenplay Contest

/ ChantalHarvey / Leave a comment

6 Annual October 04, 2012 to October 14, 2012

 

MISSION & OBJECTIVE
The mission of the GOTHAM SCREEN Film Festival & Screenplay Competition is to create an opportunity for filmmakers to have their work shown and critically judged in New York. The festival aims to create a positive industry and audience exposure for works that would otherwise not easily get seen, and for new writing, directing and acting talent to get discovered.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The 6th Annual GOTHAM SCREEN Film Festival and Screenplay Contest will take place October 4-14, 2012 in New York City.

Following the success of the 2011 edition, this years event has been expanded to showcase more short and feature films during a week of screenings at the storied Quad Cinema in Manhattan, New York City, and other locations.

Gotham Screen is looking for fresh voices and perspectives from local, national and international filmmakers.

The 2012 Screenplay Contest comes again with a $2,500 cash prize for the winning screenplay! In addition, excerpts from selected contest entries will be performed live by professional actors at a staged reading during the festival.

Recognizing the need for quality projects in the industry, and realizing that this need can not always be satisfied by established writers with agency representation, the GOTHAM SCREEN Screenplay Competition has been set up with the goal to find the Next Great Screenplay, and to give previously undiscovered writers a chance at getting their craft recognized and their projects produced.

The GOTHAM SCREEN Screenplay Competition specializes in lower- to mid- range budgeted projects. We are actively looking for scripts that can be produced with budgets in the 2-15m dollar range. While we realize that great writing exists beyond this range, the GOTHAM SCREEN Screenplay competition is not the appropriate venue for it. Our targeted budget range will most likely exclude high budget action or special effects driven stories, most science fiction, many epics and/or historic movies, as well as most animation projects.

Producers and Financiers have as much interest in great stories and screenplays, as the struggling writer has to get her or his next project onto the screen. Realizing that this is a two way relationship that calls for a new kind of approach, GOTHAM SCREEN strives to find projects and writers that can have a real chance in the marketplace.

ORGANIZERS
Alex Blakeney ; Michael Gunther (Festival Registrar) ; Michael Gunther (Festival Registrar) ; Walter Gamper ; Walter Gamper

UPCOMING DEADLINE
August 31, 2012 – Late Deadline

The 7th Annual Illinois International Film Festival (IIFF), is celebrating all aspects of the filmmaking process and the people who work tirelessly to bring great stories to the screen. The festival also attracts plenty of filmmakers and film lovers to share in the excitement of the diverse annual showcase, offering numerous opportunities for networking and discussion.

For years, IIFF has proudly celebrated not only filmmakers but also screenwriters – those skilled creative talents who literally create something from nothing. Winners in last year’s screenwriting category told the stories of a Mexican drug cartel, a Turkish wrestler battling against his cultural history, and a young man who finds unimaginable adventure while living in a nursing home. At IIFF, no story is too outlandish or “experimental” to be worthy of consideration, and the only limits to success are your own imagination.

Competitive categories at IIFF span a wide gamut and include documentary, animated, horror, science fiction, and student films. No matter what your budget or vision, IIFF has a category for you. Screenplay and film submissions to IIFF are evaluated by a committee composed of festival organizers and executives. Because this festival is truly dedicated to celebrating the individual voices of talented filmmakers, accepted films will determine the festival’s structure, and not the other way around. IIFF is tailored to the filmmakers it celebrates, and is devoted to connecting those filmmakers with audiences and industry experts who share in their excitement for cinema.

 

MISSION AND OBJECTIVE
The Illinois International Film Festival brings audiences and filmmakers together to better enjoy the art and fun of filmmaking. It offers filmmakers the opportunity to learn, grow, and exhibit their work, and it offers attendees films that will expand their knowledge of cinema and enhancing their appreciation of the filmmaking process.

MORE ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The beating heart of this festival is the incomparable city of Chicago, one of America’s most beloved urban landscapes and a melting pot for cineastes, musicians, and artists of all types. Explore Millennium Park, enjoy the world-renowned Shedd Aquarium, and stop by the Second City Comedy Club when you’re not immersed in a variety of great films or bustling IIFF social events. With the festival as your entry point to the sights, sounds, and flavors of Chicago, you’ll always have something to do or discover.

Unbeatable travel deals are available for friends and visitors of IIFF to attend the festival, ensuring that your stay is not only enjoyable but affordable. Submit your film or screenplay to the Illinois International Film Festival today for the chance to explore all that Chicago and its robust film community has to offer!
