Opportunity description
NASA and the Houston Cinema Arts Society have partnered to host the 2018 CineSpace Short Film Competition. They are looking for filmmakers with a passion for storytelling of any kind to create unique and out of the box films for a chance to win cash prizes.
Professional and aspiring filmmakers (at least 18 years-old) from all around the world are invited to participate, and will have a chance to share their work inspired by (and using) real NASA footage that has been collected from over 50 years of space history!
Love creating experimental, narrative, documentary, comedy, drama, animation, ambient, music videos, re-mix, sports, horror, and/or underground video content? Then this is the project for YOU! Submissions can range from any genre and style and should be based on innovative artistic presentations and storytelling, provoke an emotional response, and showcase mastery of filmmaking craftsmanship.
Requirements:
[1] It must be an original work by you (apart from the NASA imagery), meaning that you (or the minor you as a parent are submitting for) were one of the work’s principal creators and have the right to submit it to the Submissions Portal and grant the licenses set forth in Terms below.
[2] It must have been created after January 1, 2015.
[3] It must either be in the English language or have English subtitles (to the extent it contains dialogue or text).
[4] It must be no longer than 10 minutes, including credits.
[5] It must contain at least 10% (total time basis of actual work – not including end credits) of NASA Imagery, which may be found on the NASA Archive or other publicly available sources. (NASA Imagery may be altered with After Effects or other techniques).
[6] If your film was created using a cell phone, please be advised that portrait cell phone footage is difficult to present on the screen. It is highly recommended to shoot any video using a cell phone in the landscape or horizontal orientation.
[7] It must not be an excerpt from a longer work.
[8] It must comply with all of the content restrictions set forth in Terms. Among other things, ANY USE OF THIRD PARTY MUSIC IN THE SUBMISSION MUST BE PRE-CLEARED WITH THE APPLICABLE OWNERS/LICENSORS.
[9] You must have the right to grant the licenses set forth in Terms.
