A picture of London's horizon, taken from a boat on the Thames itself, from East London. The buildings are small on the horizon, and the clouds are grey overhead.

Creative Response to COVID-19: Brave New World - 5th DocHouse Competition

Get creative!

Date: Thu 19 November, 2020
Time: 23:55
There are currently no screenings of this film.

OUR LATEST THEME IS 'BRAVE NEW WORLD'. 
ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE 3 MINUTES LONG AND CREATED ON A SMARTPHONE OR COMPUTER.
 

This short documentary competition invites everyone to enter docs that are of maximum of 3 minutes in length.

All entries must respond to the theme of 'Brave New World' exploring our very changed society in some form or another, but we leave interpretation of that theme up to you.

With so many unknowns on the horizon, tell us what uncertainties you now face and what coping mechanisms have you been finding to adjust to the 'new normals' in our lives. What's next, and how will our livelihoods or leisure have to change? Will there be hope in the radical changes? What will inspire you?
