The Short Cinema - Show and Tell is a new event where local filmmakers can get their work seen on the big screen by an audience of film lovers and fellow filmmakers.

Hosted by Phoenix and The Short Cinema, the event is an opportunity for the local filmmaking community to come together, share their work and talk about it in a friendly and open environment.

Filmmakers are invited to submit short films for the event. It's open to any experience level, and we’re aiming to show an exciting mix of local talent working in any style or genre.

The deadline for submissions is Midnight on Sun 3 Jul.

This event is primarily aimed at filmmakers living or working in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, but we also accept submissions from the wider East Midlands.

Films must be no longer than 15 minutes. We’re open to narrative and documentary film and animation.

Participants are strongly encouraged to attend the event and introduce their film.

Please complete this form to submit your film. For the selection process we will ask you to transfer the film file or send us a streaming link.

Films will be selected by a panel including film programmers from The Short Cinema and Phoenix.

A copy of selected films must be sent to us directly for screening.

There is an 18+ age limit on participation in this event.

All participants must abide by our code of conduct:  https://www.phoenix.org.uk//content/uploads/2021/04/Phoenix-online-code-of-conduct-The-Short-Cinema-Show-Tell.pdf
