THE 2020/21 TIMELAPSE FILM FESTIVAL WILL BE HELD JULY 24, 2021 at the Harrison House - IN JOSHUA TREE, CALIFORNIA. The Premiere Event for the Timelapse Community - Worldwide. "Timelapse" has emerged as a significant form of creative expression which is instantly recognizable worldwide. With the broad availability of timelapse-capable cameras and equipment, many 'first-time' filmmakers are creating amazing results. The audience for Timelapse films has grown worldwide as well. Timelapse is a rare form of creative expression which crosses all language barriers - and brings inspiring beauty to viewers around the world. By "TImelapse" - we are referring to "Time-Altered" footage - regardless of the technique or mechanism. This includes Timelapse, Hyperlapse, Stop-Motion and any other filming effect (achieved in-camera or during post-processing) that alters the "Time" signature of the footage. The theme is "Tell me a Story". We want the Timelapse entries to craft a story with the sequences and frames of their timelapse films. While you have the attention of the viewer, leave them with an lasting impression or feeling at the end - similar to how a movie tells a story with words - Tell your story with images.
