As always, the festival are looking for short films to take part in their Short Film Competition with six awards up for grabs and a £1,000 prize for Best Short 2019.

This year they are also opening up a couple of free submissions and want to hear all about any live performances that performers would like to see to featured in the 2019 programme.

There will also be a special project for Flatpack 2019 called Oh Dear Video Diary which invites film makers (professional or budding) to delve into their attics, garages and cupboards to dust off their very early ventures into film making. If you think you’ve got a funny old gem they’d love to hear about it.
