he aim of the Africa in Motion Short Film Competition is to nurture and support young and new filmmakers from all over the continent, in the knowledge that making films can be a real challenge and with hope that the prize will be invested in future projects by the filmmaker.
The competition specifically targets young and emerging African film talent. Filmmakers who enter must not have completed a feature-length film previously.
Organisers call for short films on all themes and of all genres (including fiction, documentary, animation and experimental work) completed in 2011 or after.
A shortlist from all the entries will be announced in August 2013. A high profile jury of local and international film specialists and established African filmmakers will choose the competition winner, to be announced during this year's festival.
Deadline for entries is 31 May 2013.
