Submissions for this year’s “100 Second Film Festival” are underway. The 100 Second Film Festival was launched in 2005. Anyone can submit to the festival as long as his piece is 100 seconds long and released under a CC “BY-NC-SA” license.
The 100 Second Film Festival is “a collection of short videos presented to an audience in person or through the medium of cable television or the Internet” with the only requirements being that the films are 100 seconds long and are released under a CC BY-NC-SA license. This allows the film festivals – the screenings are decentralized – to pool past submissions as well as new ones for their lineup. Whoever is curating a specific festival can put together the lineup in any fashion they see fit, although ideally, each screening will contain at least a few works produced by the local audience where the screening is held.
This year’s call for entries was just announced, with the deadline to submit a short extended to Dec 15th, 2008.
That’s a pretty awesome event, and a good way to get people thinking about CC licenses.
