The mission of the programme — which typically receives entries from upwards of 45 countries — is to celebrate filmmakers working in both the film and ad industries, with no limitation and total artistic freedom, all on one screen.
The global call for entries is now open for work released online or offline between Wednesday, 1 January 2020 and Saturday, 30 April 2022.
The tiered pricing structure is based on entry deadlines:
- USD$60 for early entries received by Monday, 6 June
- USD$75 for regular entries received by Friday, 8 July, and
- USD$90 for the extended deadline of Friday, 5 August.
The festival recognises numerous forms and aspects of short films, including:
- narrative fiction
- comedy
- passion projects
- commercials
- branded content
- music videos
- spec work
- animation
- sound design
- movie poster design, and
- title sequences.
Entries are judged by a jury, which is to be announced shortly. Winners will be unveiled at the
One Screen Short Film Festival and screening later in 2022.
Past
One Screen winners also include Oscar-winning director Laurent Witz, as well as Martín Rosete, director of award-winning feature film
Money, whose producer first connected with him at the
One Screen awards ceremony in 2014.
"
One Screen has grown in stature to the point of attracting
Oscar winners from around the world as both entrants and judges," says Kevin Swanepoel, CEO of The One Club.
"At the same time, we are dedicated to recognizing great work from all sorts of entrants, be they large or small ad agencies and production companies, independent directors, sound designers, movie poster graphic designers and others involved in film. One Screen is a home for the projects of accomplished filmmakers, as well as a proving ground for promising young talent," concludes Swanepoel.
Individuals are encouraged to visit the
One Screen entry site to view categories and submission requirements.
