We are pleased to announce the opening of EYEFULL 2010.

EYEFULL gives local and regional filmmakers the opportunity to have their short films - told from an African or Diaspora perspective - screened at the Watershed cinema as part of the Afrika Eye Film Festival.

This year a prize of £250 will be awarded to the best short.

Have your film seen in Bristol's prestigious Watershed cinema! Each year, EYEFULL offers the opportunity for filmmakers to submit their own short films - told from an African or Diaspora perspective - and have them screened as part of the Afrika Eye Film Festival.

Although we're interested in shorts from further afield, we're particularly eager to see local productions. All local filmmakers of the films selected for EYEFULL will be invited to attend the screening. What's more, a prize of £250 will be awarded for the best short film by a local filmmaker. All films must be no more than 20 minutes long and the Afrika Eye Selection Committee will have the final word on which submissions will be screened.

Afrika Eye 2009 saw a fantastic selection of short films, all played to a full house. The films were warmly received by an eager audience and members of the crowd later told how the films shown were extremely moving and overall a brilliant collection of shorts! Three local films made it into the final selection and a jury awarded a commendation to each with a prize for the best film.

We are extremely grateful to Avon and Somerset Police for sponsoring EYEFULL 2010.
