We are on the hunt for the best short films!

We just had a fantastic first PSFN of the year at PPMtv, with over 200+ submission we had a great line-up of six films and two behind-the-scenes.  Over 100 people gathered to share an evening of independent cinema on a cold and icy February night and now we are preparing for the next Short Film Night.  So, what are you waiting for? We need your film, same criteria as always. Anything under 25 minutes in length; any style, any genre, any theme.

With a huge jump in the number of submissions we receive, the competition is now fierce – so make sure your film is top notch before you send it in.  If you’ve submitted before, don’t worry, your film is still in the running for this event – so please don’t submit the same film twice.

The next Portsmouth Short Film Night is happening on Thursday, May 29th at Portsmouth Public Library, Portsmouth, NH.  It will start at 7pm, and the line-up….well that’s down to you – isn’t it? Keep an eye on this blog or our facebook page for more information.

So spread the word, tell your filmmaker friends, dig out an old film, finish that edit of your current project or pick up your camera and see what you can film now.

THE DEADLINE IS APRIL 30TH, so go ahead – submit your film using our handy form!

We can’t wait to watch them all.

We need your film for the next PSFN!

PSFN2014 is going to be a great year for film and we are happy to announce that Portsmouth Short Film Night will be continuing for another year after four great events last year.  If you didn’t catch it last year, Portsmouth Short Film Night is an event for independent filmmakers to screen and discuss their work and for cinema lovers to get a front-row seat to emerging and established talent.

Each night  offers an eclectic mix of drama, action, comedy, animation and much, much more – showcasing the best independent short films from local, national and international talent. If you are a cinema lover, or you want to see something a little different come to the next Portsmouth Short Film Night at 7pm, Friday, February 28 at PPMtv, 280 Marcy Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801. As well as fantastic films we will have special Q&As with the filmmakers, and an opportunity afterwards to hand out and talk film.

But before we get to that we need to select our films and there’s still time to submit your short film. Are you a film student, indie maker or a seasoned pro – we want to watch your film! We’re looking for shorts of any genre (or un-genre) from independent filmmakers interested in screening their film to an audience. That’s why you made it, right?

The night is a free event, open to anyone who enjoys watching shorts and talking film. It’s all about getting filmmakers together to show off their work, have fun, meet like-minded people, and maybe even be inspired. If that sounds like your cup of tea, why not

Remember, we’re open to basically anything from anyone and ideally we’re looking for filmmakers who can attend to talk about their work. Try to send in your film by April 1, because that’s when we’ll start making decisions about what we can screen this time.

Finally, if you already submitted your film, don’t worry — we still have it, so no need to resubmit. Otherwise, head on over to the submissions page for details and to submit your film. Can’t wait to watch it!

Call for short film submissions

The first-ever Portsmouth Short Film Night is happening February 24, and we want to show your film! We’re looking for shorts of any genre (or un-genre) from independent filmmakers interested in screening their film to an audience. That’s why you made it, right?

The night will be a free event, open to anyone who enjoys watching shorts and talking film. It’s all about getting filmmakers together to show off their work, have fun, meet like-minded people, and maybe even be inspired. If that sounds like your cup of tea, why not send us your film?

Because talking with filmmakers is an important part of the evening, we’d love you to come say a few words about your film. If we receive more films than we have time for, we’ll give preference to those who can be present to talk, but we’re open to submissions from anyone, no matter where you are!

How?

Let’s keep it simple: just send us a link to view the film, either as a stream or a download. If we decide to show your film, we can then arrange to get a high-quality copy from you for screening.

Also be sure to let us know if one of the filmmakers can come talk at the screening, so we can consider you first.

When?

Our soft deadline is February 4. That means we will continue to consider films submitted after that date, but only on an as-needed basis. So submit before the deadline to be sure your film is considered!

Do it!

So go on, what are you waiting for? Send us your film! We can’t wait to see it.
