Throughout the Epsom Cine & Video Society’s season there are a number of times when club members are expected to provide contributions in the form of video or film to support our programme.
These contributions include competition entries and other items. This in turn might lead to confusion so in order to alleviate the problem a list has been drawn up.

MEMBER’S FILMS A regular feature in the programme and always occupies the first meeting in September. Preferably being work of the contributor. Age and content is open and may even be rough cut or unfinished. September 14th

FILM APPRECIATION Excerpt from a favourite feature film, cartoon or documentary. The presenter may if they wish talk about aspects of the presentation. The presentation may contain several clips. November 23rd

1 MINUTE COMPETITION A new competition suggested by John Gannaway and content is open. The running time should be one minute. October 12th

5 MINUTE COMPETITION The content is open and the running time is approximately five minutes or less.October 12th

THEME COMPETITION The theme for this competition in 2007 is “Faith, Hope & Charity ”. It is up to the maker as to how they interpret the content. October 12th

TRAVELOGUE COMPETITION Difficult to categorise from a holiday film but should emphasise places rather than people. November 9th

HOLIDAY COMPETITION A holiday may be a holiday from work so therefore it might be taken at home in the back garden and definitely not a subject for a travelogue film. January 11th 2008

NON-HOLIDAY COMPETITION Subject matter is up to the maker but as the category suggests should avoid a specific holiday theme. February 8th 2008

VIDEO EXPERIENCE PROJECT Members are asked to film a simple everyday task. This is meant to be non-competitive and to exercise and improve movie-making skills. May be shown towards the end of any evening.

In all cases please inform the FILMS OFFICER (me) in plenty of time 020 8337 8118.
The order of the day is first come, first served and subject to the relevance of the evening. Please try to keep any content down to a maximum of 20 minutes bearing in mind there may be other people who want to show a film.
Some films may, with the agreement of the exhibitor, be curtailed in order to fairly share the evening.
Happy filming

Norman Bull (FILMS OFFICER)
