The theme is pretty loosy goosy so don't feel like you have to reign yourself in. Run wild, etc. All shorts should be submitted to the OUFF by Monday of 1st week, Hilary Term 2011 and we'll be showing the winning shorts at a delightful screening in 8th. Don't have a camera?

Don't have a team? Check out the cast and crew listings or just drop us an email and we'll try and fit you together like our very own crew jigsaw. At any rate, get involved, we'd love to hear from you and see what your all working on. 22nd of October - Freshers Meet and Greet
