Excellent-looking competition, submitted by Holly Barnes Thomas of the Society of St James:
The Society of St James, Southampton's local homelessness charity today launches its own film competition, The Home~less Movie Competition, open to the general public and to its service users and residents too.
The film competition asks only that the film be about homelessness and
run no longer than three minutes. Holly Barnes-Thomas, the
competition's creator explains: I
really wanted to create an opportunity for people, especially the
Society of St James' residents, to express themselves about
homelessness. It's a great chance to raise awareness of the hardship of
homelessness and help people to understand what its really like.
"It's a great chance to raise awareness of the hardship of

The competition is unusual in that it is open to national filmmakers as
well the charity's service users and will offer a ‘buddy' system to
link up people who have experienced homelessness with filmmakers.
The competition is also supported by local, award winning filmmaker,
Alys Hawkins who produces animated short works from her railway arch
studio in Southampton.
The competition will be judged by a panel of professionals in the
fields of homelessness and film, with a glitzy awards ceremony in
December.
