Films and things: EU Commission/Darklight shorts competition & IFI treats

The Darklight Film Festival and the EU Commission are holding a competition for shorts. Snip:

Make a short film, one inspired by the notion of Democracy & Dialogue. Go on… It doesn’t matter if you record it on your mobile phone, a state of the art digital video camera, or create your own DIY animation – the idea’s the thing. Make it a comedy, a tragedy, a documentary, an animation – whatever takes your fancy. It’s about self-expression. And if it gets people thinking, even better.

The maker of the winning short nabs a HD video camera. More details on the EU Ireland site.

A quick peep over at the IFI’s weekend sees a pair of movies exploring isolation in wildly different ways. Lars von Trier’s Antichrist is set snugly beside the closing film of the French New Wave festival, Godard’s Bande à part.
