Slim Cinema Film Festival TBA
[DUE TO CONCERNS OVER NCOV19, OUR FESTIVAL IS POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. WE WILL STILL BE ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS AND WILL PROVIDE NOTICE ONCE WE GATHER MORE INFORMATION ON WHEN WE PLAN TO HOST SCVFF V – THANK YOU!] We are excited to announce another installment of Slim Cinema, NYC’s first and only vertical film festival. Our past events have showcased some of the most creative filmmakers and storytellers across the world to a packed house of over 600 attendees.  CREATOR CHALLENGE: Create a visual piece shot in Vertical Composition that tells a narrative. Content can be shot using your equipment of choice (i.e. SLR, red, smartphone, etc.), but aspect ratio must be 9:16 for any submissions to be considered. We want to challenge your creativity to tell an original narrative through vertical visual storytelling. Have fun with it – be creative with the new aspect ratio. Keep in mind the constraints the narrower vertical format may bring to your content – and discover how you can disrupt visual narratives through powerful storytelling.
