The BAFTA ‘60 Seconds of Fame’ competition has launched the 2007 call for entries with filmmakers invited to submit a short film based on the theme ‘unite’.
BAFTA juries will choose the shortlisted films in each of the 15 UK regions and the public will vote for their favourite film in their area. The winner from each region will win two tickets to the red carpet event of the year, the Orange British Academy Film Awards on Sunday 10 February, 2008. The overall winner will be chosen by a BAFTA jury and announced at the ceremony. The winning film will feature as part of the BBC One broadcast of the event.
Entrants must be 16 years or older. Supporting the initiative is actor Andy Serkis, (The Lord of Rings trilogy and Sugarhouse), who will be making his directorial debut next year with Freezing Time.
