Who Can Participate
All ages can participate in the film festival but must have a designated adult as Team Leader (18+). This is a worldwide competition and there are no country restrictions however participants must work in accordance to British time.

The Length
Your completed film must be no longer than five minutes and no shorter than three minutes (including credits and title card).

The Footage
The film must be filmed within the 48hr film festival. You cannot use footage from an earlier date unless it is stock footage (please note that you will have to ensure all stock footage has necessary clearance for the festival - stock heavy films are unlikely to win as we prefer to encourage films filmed completely within the 48 hours).

Language
Films can be submitted in any language. The film must include English subtitles if the film is not in English.

Title Card
Your film must start with five seconds of black followed by five seconds of a title card. The title card must include your team name and the title of the film.
