Submissions now open for the first Dorking Film Festival

DORKING, U.K. - April 6, 2015 - PRLog -- The Dorking Film Festival has opened submissions for its first edition on Sunday 18 October 2015. The organisers are seeking films from local filmmakers for two programme strands. One strand for children and young adults, up to and including 18 years, and one strand for adult filmmakers, aged 19 years or older. The film festival will take place at the Dorking Halls in Dorking during the Mole Valley Arts Alive festival in the autumn of 2015.

“I’m excited to find out what local filmmakers in Dorking, Surrey and the South-East can send us. With every mobile phone putting a potential film studio in your pocket there has never been a better time to make short films. Budding filmmakers are only limited by their imagination! Who knows – you might see the next Christopher Nolan at our festival! We’re running a short film competition for adults and a separate one for children as part of the first Dorking Film Festival,” said festival organiser Robert McCaffrey.

Selected films from the junior and adult submissions will be screened in two competition programmes at the film festival. Winners from both the junior and adult programmes will then be announced at the festival award ceremony.

Submissions are open to anybody resident in the United Kingdom. Any film considered for submission for the festival should have been completed in 2014 or 2015. The deadline for submission is 18 August 2015. For more information on how to submit a film visit the festival website: www.dorkingfilmfestival.com/submit-your-film/.
