The Expresso 90 Second Film Festival, now in its third year, is a film event for Birmingham that calls upon film-makers of all ages and backgrounds to create compelling and engaging super short films. The panel will be looking for films that arrest, entertain, provoke thought and showcase the sophisticated abilities needed to produce fully rounded productions in such a limited time frame.
10 finalists will be selected for the shortlist festival screening. Out of this nominated pool, one winner will be selected by the festival's panel with a separate prize for best student film. The winning film will run at The Mockingbird before features for the duration of May. The winner will also receive the coveted Expresso 90 trophy and prize.
*UPDATE* Due to the coronavirus we are updating the festival award and dates. Any film submitted after April 10th and before June 19th will now be eligible for the Isolation Film-maker award. Films made during isolation will still be 90 seconds in length but the added restrictions placed upon film-makers during this period will be taken into consideration and we at Expresso are excited to see the outcomes.
