Apply to Bridging the Gap!

2nd September 2013 / News, Opportunities

Sorry, submissions to Bridging the gap are now closed…

You are Scottish-based and have an idea for a 10 minute documentary? We are looking for strong contemporary stories led by interesting character(s).

The motto of the Commonwealth Games is ‘Humanity, Equality, Destiny’, which resonates with the other major event of 2014 in Scotland: the independence referendum. We would like applicants to explore such ideals and offer a personal and creative interpretation of these.

 

10 ideas will be short-listed on the basis of the proposal and supporting materials. In the following weeks they will be developed through weekend workshops so that they can be pitched to a panel of experts who will commission the final 4 projects in December 2013. The films, to be delivered by April 2014, are intended for distribution in cinemas and festivals.

APPLY HERE
Deadline: Monday 30th September (11pm GMT)

Bridging the Gap is supported by Creative Scotland and the Edinburgh College of Art (University of Edinburgh)
