Entries open for short films exhibiting city’s beauty till August 15

:

Ahead of Madras Day, in a bid to celebrate the citywith stories that exhibit its resilience and rhythm, Namma Stories, a short film contest will be held.

Super Chennai, a not-for-profit initiative launched by CREDAI Chennai, is organising this contest. It has invited entries from filmmakers, students, professionals, and storytellers, according to a press release.

People can shoot the film using their phone or professional camera. There is no age limit. “Each short film can have a duration of up to 5 minutes, and must spotlight Chennai in ameaningful way — whether through a personal memory, a powerful social message, a fictional narrative set in the city, or a documentary-style portrayal of its neighbourhoods and people,” the release said.

The last date to submit the entries is August 15. The winner will be announced on August 22 (Madras Day).

While top entries will receive rewards and opportunities, one short film will get a cash prize of ₹1 lakh.

Those interested can mail their short films to hello@superchennai.com
