A new film competition is underway and is looking for filmmakers to enter their short films into one of six categories for a chance to win a cash prize and a mentoring session with director and producer Tom Harper (Peaky Blinders, Misfits, This Is England ‘86).

The Repton Filmfest '22 is an exciting opportunity for new and established filmmakers to showcase their creative work and the fest promises six competition categories to enter - Documentary, drama, music, animation, comedy and student film. And there is a prize of £250 to be awarded to the winning film in each category.

There‘s also a Grand Prize of £500 for the Best Picture as selected by their panel of judges, plus a one-hour mentoring meeting with top British film producer and director Tom Harper.

This will be an amazing chance for filmmakers to discuss their career ambitions and projects they are working on with the renowned filmmaker.

Finally, all winners will take home an ‘Archie' Award - a unique local trophy inspired by the iconic Repton Arch that was featured in the 1939 British classic Goodbye, Mr Chips.

These will be presented at the awards ceremony itself due to take place on the evening of Sunday July 10th.
