ENVISIONING TOMORROW
This year's theme for the Annapolis Film Festival Shorts Challenge, Envisioning Tomorrow, can be interpreted literally or metaphorically. The project can be a personal or a larger societal story, using fiction or a documentary format. It can be as technical as the future of the film medium itself, or it can be as philosophical as the future of storytelling. It can be as intimate as a character struggling to get through the day with hopes of a better tomorrow or as grand as documenting a positive solution for the future of a community, our country, or our planet.
The subject can be told through a comedic lens or a dramatic lens…science fiction or reality…but it should be an inspiring take on the future. For complete rules and instructions for submitting your film, click HERE.
