SPARTA Film Challenge

NOTE WELL: the 2017 SPARTA Film Challenge screening event will take place on May 28, 2017, at the Imagine Cinemas (St. Laurent Mall), Ottawa, at 5 pm. In the last four years the SPARTA Film Challenge has distributed over $20,000 in awards. This narrative short film competition screens selected submissions in an Ottawa movie theatre. Each participating filmmaker will receive judges notes for their submission. Filmmakers have eighty (80) days to create a short film of five (5) minutes or less in running time which implements a CATCH provided to filmmakers at the start of the 80 day production window. A panel of judges assess all of the submissions and select the short films screened at the movie theatre. Selected films will be included in a compilation anthology. Revenue generated by the distribution of this anthology will be distributed among the respective filmmakers. SCREEN WRITERS may submit scripts for the Screen Play competition.
