The ninth annual TCM Classic Shorts competition launches this May with a truly international flavour to its judging panel which this year includes Wolfgang Petersen, Istvan Szabo, Agnieszka Holland, Mikael Hafstrom, Rutger Hauer, James Franco, Nick Goldsmith and Garth Jennings aka Hammer and Tongs. This is the second year that the competition has been open to entries from Europe, the Middle East and Africa and, as in previous years, the winner and runners up will be screened at an award ceremony held in October. The competition rewards the top three film makers with £10,000 of prize money (1st prize - £5,000; 2nd prize – 3,000; 3rd prize £2,000), with all six finalists getting exposure across all the TCM EMEA territories, making it one of the most valuable competitions of its kind.
In addition, the six short listed films are aired during a special weekend of programming on TCM celebrating the best new film making talent from the competition. Once again, TCM Classic Shorts has been lucky enough to attract some of the most distinguished names from the international film industry who have agreed to give up their time to help nurture future film makers.
