2013 AiM Film Festival confirms dates

The competition specifically targets young and emerging African film talent. Filmmakers who enter must not have completed a feature-length film previously. Organisers call for short films on all themes and of all genres (including fiction, documentary, animation and experimental work) completed in 2011 or after.
The aim of the Africa in Motion Short Film Competition is to nurture and support young and new filmmakers from all over the continent, in the knowledge that making films can be a real challenge and with hope that the prize will be invested in future projects by the filmmaker.
A shortlist from all the entries will be announced in August this year. A high profile jury of local and international film specialists and established African filmmakers will choose the competition winner, to be announced during the festival.
All shortlisted films will be screened at the festival during the short film Competition screening. In addition to the overall winner selected by the jury, there will be an Audience Choice Award announced at the closing of the festival, when both the jury's choice and audience choice will be screened again prior to the closing film.
