noise is searching for moving pictures that have been made especially for small screen enjoyment.

A selection of the works submitted will be screened on national television and broadband and the filmmakers will be profiled across the media.

We�re after anything from short films, documentaries and animations, to audio-visual creations and curious experimental works.

Or you can custom-make a noise bit � a short sting or �ident� (5-30 secs long) that uses or abuses the word noise in a creative way.

What: noise is interested in any short film or video of up to 15 minutes in length. For this project, the director of the film/video must be 25 or under. Make sure that you have permission to use all of the music or visuals featured in your production.
