Shnit – Realtime Press Release

The shnit Realtime Competition is a new addition to the shnit international short film festival – Cape Town.

The challenge is: Three local filmmakers compete over the course of the festival week (Monday 3rd October until Friday 7th October) to shoot, edit and score a short film. Filmed with the same equipment and a script written from the same inspiration point. This year’s theme is CAPE OF STORMS, touching on historical and artistic aspects of Cape Town, in a theme that can be interpreted in many different senses, from literal storms, to fights, break ups or perhaps something more experimental.

The films will be screened publicly for the first time at the closing night of the shnit international short film festival Awards Ceremony on the 9th October 2011. The winner is chosen by the audience on the night. This competition is made possible through partnership with local facilities and service companies, as well as a skilled crew in certain positions.

Yes, the Shnit just got REAL!
