Deadline for submissions:  MONDAY, JUNE 1

Each year, after the St. Anthony Main fireworks, The Soap Factory holds the Ten Second Film Festival. This festival is a raucous, outdoor screening of the top 100 funniest, dumbest, cleverest, and sometimes most thought-provoking ten second films you’ll ever see. Anyone can submit a film and they’re usually pretty low-tech (as is perfectly obvious from some of the previous years’ footage!). It’s a great opportunity to be shown at a leading art gallery. Most films are made on low-tech, alternative movie-making devices, so whip out those cell phones, digital cameras, and iphones and make some ten second magic!

Submission guidelines can be found on The Soap Factory’s website. Email all film submissions to tensecondfilmfest@gmail.com.
