MISSION & OBJECTIVE The Renderyard Short Film Festival runs from 8th to 10th October 2010 and supports the screening of new short films and animations including documentaries. The Festival also includes music videos and film scripts and film scores and feature films. The Festival is held in London and Spain. We screen in central London at the Roxy Bar & Screen. And in Spain at the Biblotecha in La Rioja. The films that are shown have been produced by drawing inspiration from personal sources and influences that allow each director to project their own reflections and ideas as new forms of visual self expression. ABOUT THE FESTIVAL Renderyard collaborates with other film festivals in England and abroad including Rushes Soho Shorts, London and Babelgum, Italy including Dailymotion, France & UK. We are currently establishing the Festival in America and Germany. Renderyard also works with our partner Dailymotion. We have teamed up with them to provide a new film channel for the Renderyard Short Film Festival that allows us to show films from our previous festivals as well as new films and material from selected filmmakers around the world to a huge global audience. The Festival's selected films will be shown as part of the Renderyard Film Channel and each selected filmmaker's profile will be placed on the Renderyard website to remain there after the Festival. The winning films will be selected to receive the coveted Renderyard Award and will also receive $1,000 worth of amazing digital prizes. The selected Festival films will be invited to screen as part of the Renderyard Film Channel with our media partners Dailymotion and Babelgum. Each selected film will have the creator's profile and a short clip of their work placed on the Renderyard web site to remain there after the Festival ends.
