The 10th McGill International Cellphilm Festival "Re-Imaginings"
Re-imagine…
- a community challenging discrimination,
- a safe space,
- a decolonized world,
- an equal opportunity for all on the margins,
- a new way to live together …
Share your ideas and stories and change the world! Create a cellphilm!
As the world twists and turns, the 10th edition of the McGill International Cellphilm Festival invites you to look through the critical lens of cellphilm (cellphone + video) production. To produce a cellphilm use your cellphone creatively to craft a short film on re-imaginings. How can we confront such issues as gender inequality and structural racism? How can cellphilming be an activist tool?
This year we have $5000 in prizes for both individual and group submissions!
