Judges will be a combination of Nanguang’s appointed staff as well as professionals from around the world, who will be announced soon. Whether you have created a narrative short, a hard-hitting or thought-provoking documentary, a successful and innovative commercial or any kind of experimental filmmaking project, it’s time to get involved – and expose your filmmaking project to the whole world. The theme for this year’s contest is ‘reflection’. All light must originate from somewhere, but never terminate. Different surfaces in nature reflect the same light with different results – soft, hard, focus, spread and more. Surfaces in the heart and mind reflect emotion, soul, memory and reality. The surface can be defined by you – what will be the reflection of your surface? The spark asks the question, your reflection will be the answer. So be as creative as possible and let your imagination run wild as you pull together your potential masterpiece. After all, it could be worth thousands! The deadline for entry is 11am BST on 31 May 2023 and all participants must follow the requirements to complete the submission before the deadline. You must submit your entry on the Nanlite website.
