Nine short movies created by first-time film makers have been selected under the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission’s (JCDC) FI WI Short Film Competition.
The competition, the brainchild of the JCDC’s Drama and Theatre Arts Unit, was open to Jamaicans from 17 to 45 years old, who have never made a film or had a screen play produced.
Entrants were asked to examine one of five selected Jamaican proverbs and create a short film based on their interpretation.
The first, second and third place winners of the competition will be announced at a virtual presentation ceremony scheduled to take place on Thursday, September 2.
There will also be trophies and cash prizes for Best Director, Best Editing, Best Story and Best Cinematography.
