Film makers in the Channel Islands have been invited to submit their work for a film festival in Normandy.
The Fish and Films Short Film Festival takes place in Granville, Normandy from 5 to 7 December.
The free-to-enter festival is open to short films shot in Normandy or the British Isles – or films with at least one cast or crew member from Normandy, the Channel Islands or the UK.
Organisers said they would pick about 20 films to show at the festival, as well as holding a series of talks and workshops.
Granville – where the festival will take place – is in the Manche department of Normandy, which is between eight and 47 miles (12 to 75km) from the Channel Islands – and is visible from the islands on clear days.
The festival will select three prize-winning films, with each awarded £500 (€593) and a Trofish – an original trophy created for the festival by a local artist.
Who can apply?
Organisers say they are looking for films:
Shot in whole or in part in Normandy or the United Kingdom and/or made or produced with the help of Normans or Britons
Completed after 1 January 2024
Up to 30 minutes long
Subtitled (in French for English-language films or English for French films)
In any genre, including fiction, animation, documentary and experimental
The deadline for submissions is 30 June.
