Following the successful inauguration of the Young Indies Short Film Competition in 2016, Heartland Film Society ran the competition again in 2017, and invited young people to create and submit their own short film.
Who can enter? The competition is open to any individual or group based in Highland Perthshire and aged from 5 to 18 years old. There are two categories:-
6 films will be short-listed from each category. These films will be shown in the Birks Cinema during the Aberfeldy Film Festival and prizes awarded to the winners. What kind of film? There's no restriction on subject or style, so let your imagination run wild. Entries, however, must be no more than 10 minutes long.

Free workshops for young filmmakers
While some practical help from adults is acceptable, any films entered in the competition must be conceived, written, directed and produced by the youngsters themselves. Subject to funding being received, we plan to offer film-making workshops in September and any films completed during these workshops may be entered in the Young Indies competition.
In 2016 and 2017 the workshops offered aspiring young filmmakers the chance to work with a professional filmmaker and to learn about the whole process of producing a film - from creating story and characters, camera shots and storyboard, through to filming and editing.
