ITN Source Short Film Competition Finalists Unveiled

This year's finalists for the ITN Source Short Film Competition, in association with Sheffield Doc/Fest and Audio Network, have been announced.

The three finalists are: Adam Forrester, an Assistant Professor of Art from Columbus, Georgia; James Arthur Armstrong, a film critic and filmmaker from Liverpool; and Matthew Sanger, an Archive Producer for TV/film productions, concerts & events from London.

Their films will be screened at the Showroom cinema at Sheffield Doc/Fest from 10 to 15 June 2016, where festival attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite via the Sheffield Doc/Fest website. The winner will then be presented with a cheque for £1,000 at the festival's awards ceremony on Tuesday 14 June.

This year, ITN Source challenged filmmakers to create a one-minute short film using archive material from ITN Source and music from Audio Network. There were no creative constraints, and entrants were also given the opportunity to include up to 10 seconds of self-shot footage.

Amy Bigmore, Marketing Executive at ITN Source, said: "Yet again we have been blown away by the calibre of all 86 films submitted this year. We always love to see the unique and imaginative ways filmmakers use our footage to bring their stories to life."
