Two Minute Masterpiece is back!
Date Posted: November 18, 2024
We’re excited to announce that submissions are now open for the latest series of BBC NI and Northern Ireland Screen’s short filmmaking initiative Two Minute Masterpiece.
Whether it’s your first time submitting, you’ve applied before, or had a film commissioned, we’d love to hear from you.
This year, we’re setting an exciting new creative challenge. To celebrate 100 years of BBC Northern Ireland, we’re inviting filmmakers to dive into the rich history of the BBC Rewind portal. This year’s theme is all about reimagining, reinterpreting, and reshaping moments from the past to create new stories, fresh perspectives, and unexpected connections to the present.
Your challenge is to create a two-minute film inspired by, or featuring, archive material from BBC Rewind. Whether it’s news footage, historic interviews, iconic cultural moments, or forgotten treasures, use the archive as a springboard for your creativity. We want to see films that explore the theme in bold, innovative ways – whether its juxtaposing old and new, uncovering untold stories, or sparking new conversations from the past.
Films can span any genre, from live-action and animation to avant-garde, documentary, or comedy.
The full creative brief is available on the Two Minute Masterpiece website.
The deadline for submissions is Monday 2ndDecember 2024.
If you have any questions about accessing the archive or submission requirements, please email [email protected]
