Dartmoor Film Challenge
This isn’t your standard short film competition.
Instead of arriving with a polished plan and pre-shot footage, you’ll draw your theme, storyline, and environment out of a hat. From that moment, you can get planning with your time starting at 10:00
You’ll then have 24 hours, to plan, film, and edit your short film - all out on Dartmoor.
No pre-planning. No safety net. Just your creativity, adaptability, and storytelling skills.
This is a true test of style, skill, and imagination.
Want to team up? You can, but every element drawn must be included in your final film.
Awards include:
Best Story
Best Film
People’s Choice Award
Join us from 18:00 on Sunday for the judging, shortlisted screenings, and prize-giving. Alongside the Photo Competition.
So… are you ready to walk away with the first ever Dartmoor Outdoor Festival Film Award?
