Dear all,

 

I would be grateful if you would consider circulating our First World War short film competition through your networks:

 

 

 

There is just under a month left to enter 'Files on film', The National Archives' award winning short film competition sponsored by the Friends of The National Archives.

 

This year, the theme is the First World War as part of our centenary programme. We have selected ten diverse documents from the period, reflecting different experiences of war time. We invite you to interpret these and tell us the stories you see - how does our history inspire you?

 

To enter, read some or all of the documents we have selected and let one of them inspire you to make a short film (no longer than three minutes). You can choose any aspect of what you see - a character, a line, or the whole document, to create a film of your choice.  Anyone can enter, using any type of film equipment from mobile phones to studio cameras.

 

Entrants have the chance to win £500 for 1st place, £200 for 2nd place and £100 for 3rd place. Winning films will be shown on The National Archives website. To watch last year's winners, visit our website.

 

This year our judging panel includes Chris Croucher, an award winning filmmaker and producer of season five of ‘Downton Abbey’.

 

The closing date for entries is midnight on Wednesday 7th January.

Many thanks,
