Film Kitchen Seeks Contest Submissions

Film Kitchen, the long-running monthly screening series, seeks short films for its annual contest.

This year’s theme is “kitsch.” Here’s an amusing video explaining more.

Films of four minutes or less, in any genre (narrative, documentary, animation, experimental) can be originated in any film or video format but must be submitted in a Quicktime Apple ProRes file.

Submissions can be mailed or dropped off at Pittsburgh Filmmakers, 477 Melwood Ave., Oakland.

The deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. Tue., May 26.

Finalists will be selected for a screening at Pittsburgh Filmmakers’ Harris Theater, Downtown, on June 9, during the Three Rivers Film Festival. Films will compete for cash prizes.
