Film Festival Contest Topic: Relationships Relationships are one of the most fundamentally important things to human beings. Think about it. From the relationship you have with your smartphone that wakes you up every morning to the relationship with your roommate that drives you crazy but also helps you pay the rent in that loft apartment you really can’t afford. Relationships are all around and can take on many forms. Some relationships are good and symbiotic and are continually nurtured while others are painful and a burden. There is no denying the impact relationships can have not only a single person but also on a group of people or community. What about failed relationships? Failed relationships happen for many reasons, and the failure of a relationship is often a source of great anguish. But why? Why do we latch onto other people or inanimate objects. Do relationships make us whole or do they actually expose our vulnerability? We put a significant amount of time, emotion, and energy into identifying and fostering relationships with stuff, with others, with thoughts without really thinking through the finality and expected outcome of the relationship and how that will affect us and our lives. We invite you to submit short films that provide a deeper dive into that which we crave most, relationships. Film Festival Contest Guidelines How to Win!
