The Clyfford Still Museum and Denver Film seek short films by filmmakers ages 1 to 18. We are looking for films on the concept of BIGNESS to complement CSM’s exhibition Awful Bigness. Think big landscapes, big ideas, and big feelings. Entries should be family-friendly and may use traditional filmmaking techniques, stop motion, digital animation, or abstract approaches to represent BIGNESS. You could document the life of a large tree in your neighborhood, zoom in and out on your favorite objects to show their scale, act out a big dream you have, or depict something that makes you feel big! The possibilities are endless; let your imagination take over!
Details:
- Length: 1 minute or less
- Format: .mp4 or .mov
- If using music, you must use original, royalty-free, public domain, or open-source music
- Could be shot on a video camera, webcam, cell phone, GoPro, etc.
