DIGITAL FILMMAKING CONTESTS
Digital Amnesty Award
PAH NATION's Digital Amnesty wants to provide a second chance for art by the people to be seen and heard all over the world. It doesn't matter when you made it as long as it was made digitally and it is 7 minutes or less.
Mobiflicks Competition
Do you have a story idea that would make a great short film? One with local flair and a regional interest? Submit it to the Mobiflicks Competition, and if your story is chosen, you and your team will be invited to PAH-FEST to make your 6 minute movie during the festival.
Cellphone Art
