 The British Academy of Film & Television Arts launched a new short film competition today - 60 Seconds of Fame, run in association with Orange. The winner will have their film featured as part of the BBC broadcast of The Orange British Academy Film Awards in 2007. They are running a series of free workshops across the UK to promote the scheme.
This new BAFTA competition has the support of BBC Nations and Regions and the Regional Screen Agency network and is open to anyone aged 16 or over. Shortlisted films will be shown by each of the 15 BBC Nations and Regions and, following a public vote, one winner from each area will win two tickets to The Orange British Academy Film Awards in 2007. The overall winner will be announced and have their film featured as part of the BBC One broadcast of the ceremony. As the name suggests, budding film makers are invited to submit a 60 second short film based on the theme ‘Celebrate', to reflect BAFTA's 60th birthday and Orange's 10 year partnership with the Academy. The competition aims to give the general public the tools and ‘know how' to create their own 60 second short

Belgium film I Don't Care if Tomorrow Never Comes, from Guillaume Malandrin, has picked up the Golden Owl at the 20th Leeds International Film Festival, with a Special Mention going to Human Film's Ahlaam. The Silver Melies Award for UK talent rewarded Billy O Brien's horror Isolation while Ed Boase's Home Video picked up the short film prize.

(Even if she had been a criminal). The International Animation prize went to Birmingham-born twice Oscar-nominated Joanna Quinn's Dream and Desires: Family Ties, a delightful take on the British instituion of drunken celebration through the lens of a silver surfing vlogger, with a special mention for Jonas Odell's Never Like the First Time.
