The Brief

 

This is a documentary film grant.

 

In a world that's never been louder, this year’s Listening Pitch challenges filmmakers to find extraordinary narratives that reflect the world around us. They can be personal or universal, and this year’s theme takes notice of global stories and human connection. We are looking for films that bring life to unheard voices, which resonate with audiences on a deep, emotional level. If you're driven by the desire to tell powerful, evocative stories, this is your chance. We encourage filmmakers from all walks of life to share their unique perspective on the theme. Challenge the conventional, experiment with your craft and redefine what it means to truly listen.

 

- Five filmmakers will be selected to present their idea at a live virtual pitch in May 2024.

- A panel will review the pitches and a grant of £20k will be awarded to the filmmaker with the strongest idea.

- The final film will be original and offer a new perspective on the theme.

- It will premiere at ASFF in early November 2024 and also be shared on Audible and Aesthetica social channels.

- Films must have English subtitles available to meet accessibility requirements. Two versions will be required: one with subtitles burnt in and one without subtitles.

If chosen for The Listening Pitch, I understand my film will be premiered at Aesthetica Short Film Festival on Saturday 9 November 2024 in York, accompanied by a Q&A with the filmmaker.

Filmmakers are required to attend and will need to make their own travel/accommodation arrangements if selected and should account for this in the £20K budget.
