\nToday we’re launching the official For The Girls 7th birthday contest – The Female Gaze Erotic Film Competition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The idea is to encourage representation of female perspectives in erotic film. We’re looking for short film submissions, under 10 minutes, that are erotic and embody the female gaze – a woman’s perspective of sex and sexuality. It doesn’t have to be explicit, although that’s always nice. It does have to include the number 7 within some part of the film.<\/p>\n

The winner gets US$400 and a screening at Cinekink Film Festival<\/a> in New York – thanks to the lovely Lisa for teaming up with For The Girls in this. The winner and runner up will feature in the member’s area at For The Girls. We’ll also consider licensing any other worthy films in our shortlist and the top 6 will get automatic consideration at Cinekink.<\/p>\n

It’s not officially part of the comp but if I can swing it I’ll look into making the shortlisted films into a DVD. I can’t say that’s definite yet because I don’t know what sort of movies we’ll be getting or whether I can secure any kind of distribution. But it’s a possibility further down the track.<\/p>\n

So if you’re an aspiring filmmaker, now might be the time to pick up the camcorder. It doesn’t have to be a hardcore epic or an Oscar-winning masterpiece. In essence, this competition is about encouraging creativity and erotic exploration, about taking a woman’s experience of sex and finding a way to visually depict it in your own way.<\/p>\n

This competition follows on from Petra Joy’s awards held in Berlin last year – which I won. Having participated in that and having seen the gorgeous other films that were finalists, I want to see more and I want to encourage more filmmakers like me. Everyone has their own ideas about what is sexy and erotic. Here’s a chance to put it out into the world.<\/p>\n

You’ll find all the info and legal details about the competition here<\/a>. The deadline for entries is mid August so you don’t have long. Get out there and get filming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
