All screenings @ Zeidler Hall in the Citadel Theatre, 9828 - 101A Ave
Mostly Water Theatre’s Metro Shorts is a live screening of short films written, produced and performed by Edmonton’s best and worst up-and-coming cinematic sensations. Loosely based on Channel101.com in LA and Metro TV in Edmonton, Metro Shorts is a chance for independent short filmmakers to get their work seen, adjudicated by professionals, get paid, win prizes and be forced to make a second short. The audience members act as studio executives, voting to decide if the short is good enough for a command performance of a second short (to be shown at the next installment of Metro Shorts). If your short doesn’t get selected for a second installment, you’re free to try again.
Both comedic and more serious submissions are welcome but must be a maximum of 5 minutes and must not contain any copyright violations. Other than that, it’s wide open: your chance to get your film shorts seen, to compete against local artists and to one day rule the world. Submit your shorts on a MiniDV tape or an uncompressed Quicktime movie file on a DVD by Wed, Nov 18th to:
Metro Shorts
6-32, Stanley Milner Library
7 Churchill Square
Edmonton, AB

This screening is part of the larger thematic series:
Citadel renovations are ongoing, so Metro Cinema continues to screen in the Rice Theatre, just down the hall from our normal room. Until we return to the Zeidler, screenings will continue to be from video, and not from 35mm.
Also, all Silver Screen passes are good for 3 months past their normal date of expiry, to thank you for your patience.
