TikTok’s film contest can land you a trip to Cannes Film Fest
Creating a movie is no joke. It takes a lot of creativity, planning, and budget to make it happen. But your inner filmmaker dreams have a somewhat easier way to be achieved: shoot a TikTok video. Yup, the video-sharing platform is holding a contest that could land you a seat at the Cannes Film Festival.
TikTok recently announced that it is the official partner of the upcoming film fest. In line with this, it will carry out a global competition called #TikTokShortFilm. In a statement, the platform said this will allow experienced and rising filmmakers “to showcase their cinematography skills through TikTok’s wide range of creative tools and effects.”
The original video entries will be judged across three categories: Grand Prix, Best Script, and Best Editing. The three winners will get a chance to win a cash prize and a trip to the Cannes event on May 17. Submissions will be accepted between March 15 to April 8.
Participants can enter vertical short films that only last for 30 seconds to three minutes. Check out TikTok’s Discover page on the app for further details.
While there was a ban on taking red carpet selfies during the much-awaited film fest in 2018, viewers will get to see the behind-the-scenes footage through TikTok. Hit the follow button on @festivaldecannes account on the app so you won’t miss out on any interviews.
Meanwhile, the festival’s general delegate Thierry Fremaux described the partnership as a way for the festival to engage with a new era of cinephiles. He said, ‘We’re looking forward to sharing the most exciting and inspiring moments from the Festival and seeing the Festival reimagined through the lens of TikTok creators and its community.’
