FILM NIGHT: WEDNESDAY 25 JULY

As part of the Aberdour Festival Family Film Night on Wednesday 25th July, Aberdour Festival is hosting its very own BAFTAs – Brilliant Aberdour Film Talent Awards. Budding film makers are invited to submit short films (of around five minutes) for showing on the night. If you have a film that you would like to show, or would like to make one especially for this event, please contact Lewis Banks for details of how to enter (01383 861267 / lewis@gallery8art.co.uk).

Submissions of all types are welcome from all ages and there will be prizes for the audience’s favourites on the night. There is a special prize for the committee’s favourite film produced by anyone under 16: Channel Fife TV has offered to work with a young person as a presenter and one as a camera operator and shoot for Channel Fife a topic of their choice. Your chance to work with the professionals! Graeme Campbell, Project Director at Channel Fife TV, said, ‘Channel Fife TV is developing a web broadcast television service across Fife and is delighted to be able to support local programme making in the community by sponsoring the Aberdour Festival Film Night.’ 

 ‘We are hoping to receive films on a wide range of topics, comedy, drama or documentary, from anyone who wants to pick up their camera or mobile phone and have a go. Maybe you could be the next Quentin Tarantino, Bill Forsyth or Steven Spielberg!’
