About Depict Short Film Competition 2023

We’re excited to welcome a new award for DepicT! 2023, sponsored by Action Xtreme.

Are you a filmmaker interested in making Action? We are welcoming submissions of films that are 90 seconds or less, that could be developed into web series or longer form content.

We are particularly looking out for submissions the following motifs:

  • Conflict between characters

  • Energy and Pace -is the storytelling or editing pacy and energetic?

  • Movement – is there dynamic camera movement (or performance i.e dance/fight sequences etc)

  • Character – Are there good guys and bad guys?

  • Adventure – Is there a sense of adventure in the story?

Submissions could also include action sequences such as fight scenes, chase scenes, explosions and other thrills.

The winner of the Action Xtreme award will be announced at Encounters Film Festival 2023, where the winning filmmaker will receive £2,000 budget, and further development and mentoring, to develop their short into a 5 minute pilot for a web series or longer form content.
