Introduced to Minikino Film Week in 2019, the Short Film Market section cultivates global, national, and local connections to enrich economic value and foster collaboration among filmmakers and industry professionals. Through a diverse array of creative activities held during the festival, the Short Film Market @MFW provides valuable opportunities for networking and meaningful engagement within the short film community, all aimed at enhancing economic value within the industry.
Minikino Film Week 9 presents the Short Film Market:
The Begadang Filmmaking Competition is a national short film competition. The competition challenges participants to produce and submit their short films to the festival in less than 34 hours while also challenging their creativity with some compulsory cinematic elements. This year, the following compulsory elements were required to be used in the film:
Developments in the story are indicated by changes in the color scheme.
One character affected by climate change.
Lighting only comes from 1 (one) direction. Either natural light or lamps.
All voices heard (including the score) have to show the sound source (except for credit titles).
Among this year’s 67 participants, only 56 “survived” to complete their production by the tough deadline. Here are the selected top 10 films.
