Enter Watershed’s super-short filmmaking competition DepicT! as part of Encounters Film Festival

May 28, 2021

Watershed want to see great films. It doesn’t matter what your budget is or what genre you’re working in. The competition is open to anyone from anywhere in the world, and entry is absolutely free – but there is one simple rule:

Your film must be 90 seconds or less in duration. If your films are longer than 90 seconds, you can still enter a film to Encounters Film Festival by 14 June 2021.

“Winning the DepicT! Main Award with Fabulous last year really gave me and the team a huge boost and we are now building on this success. We are using the prize money for our next project, so that we can take our filmmaking to the next level. My advice to anyone entering DepicT! is to have a lot of fun but also use it to hone your skills and challenge yourself.” said main DepicT! Award 2020 winner James Skinner.

“Constraint is a very useful tool for creativity. Forcing yourself to tell a story in 90 seconds makes you lose all extraneous or self indulgent elements. I think a big problem with short films is they are often not very short! I love the 90 second format.” added Ninian Doff, winner of Main DepicT! Award and The Shooting People RPS Audience Award in 2013

Entry requirements:

  • Must be 90 seconds or under
  • Must be completed after January 2020
