WORLD PREMIERE FOR MOVING FILM FESTIVAL

Channel 4 is calling for film makers from across the globe to showcase their work in the world’s first moving film festival, launched by online creative resource, IDEASFACTORY.

Throughout June 2005, 78 Central Trains carriages in the West Midlands are being transformed into moving cinemas, thanks to the IDEASFACTORY Rolling Stock Short Film Festival. Over 100 short films will be screened during the four week event, to an audience of over 55,000 passengers.

Dan Jones, Editor of IDEASFACTORY West Midlands said:

“As the world’s first industry event of its kind, the Rolling Stock Short Film Festival is a unique opportunity for both new and experienced film makers to show their work to a diverse audience and play a part in film history.”

Film makers of all ages and experience can enter their shorts, which need to be less than five minutes long and suitable for a family audience.

Passengers will be able to text vote for their favourite film throughout the festival, with the most popular short taking home a cash prize of £500. For more information, or to download an entry form visit www.channel4.com/ideasfactory
