We&#8217;re looking for short film submissions, under 10 minutes, that are erotic and embody the female gaze &#8211; a woman&#8217;s perspective of sex and sexuality. It doesn&#8217;t have to be explicit, although that&#8217;s always nice. It does have to include the number 7 within some part of the film.<\/p>\n<p>The winner gets US$400 and a screening at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinekink.com\/\" target=\"blank\">Cinekink Film Festival<\/a> in New York &#8211; thanks to the lovely Lisa for teaming up with For The Girls in this. The winner and runner up will feature in the member&#8217;s area at For The Girls. We&#8217;ll also consider licensing any other worthy films in our shortlist and the top 6 will get automatic consideration at Cinekink.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not officially part of the comp but if I can swing it I&#8217;ll look into making the shortlisted films into a DVD. I can&#8217;t say that&#8217;s definite yet because I don&#8217;t know what sort of movies we&#8217;ll be getting or whether I can secure any kind of distribution. But it&#8217;s a possibility further down the track.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re an aspiring filmmaker, now might be the time to pick up the camcorder. It doesn&#8217;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&#8217;s experience of sex and finding a way to visually depict it in your own way.<\/p>\n<p>This competition follows on from Petra Joy&#8217;s awards held in Berlin last year &#8211; 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&#8217;s a chance to put it out into the world.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find all the info and legal details about the competition <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefemalegaze.com\/\">here<\/a>. The deadline for entries is mid August so you don&#8217;t have long. Get out there and get filming!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we&#8217;re launching the official For The Girls 7th birthday contest &#8211; The Female Gaze Erotic Film Competition.
