DepicT! - 90 second film competition
Can you do it in 90 seconds?
DepicT! is Watershed’s international short film competition as part of Encounters International Film Festival that challenges filmmakers to create super-shorts of under 90 seconds.
DepicT! has been running since 1998 and prides itself on the quality of its little gems. Every year we receive hundreds of films of every genre from dozens of countries all around the world all competing for our great range of prizes and industry exposure. The teams of judges who deliberate over the entries have included some superstar names – such as Peter Jackson, Pete Postlethwaite and Damien O’Donnell.
Every year the shortlisted DepicT! filmmakers, often in that crucial early stage in their career, are invited to the Encounters International Film Festival and offered a prime industry platform. The festival is a priceless opportunity for filmmakers to promote their work and make contact with a broad range of international industry professionals from distributors and producers to funding bodies and exhibitors, as well as other filmmakers and, of course, enthusiastic short film fans.
All the shortlisted DepicT! films are screened at the extremely popular (and consistently sold out) DepicT! showcase, where the winners are announced in front of the audience. Winning films have regularly gone on to be screened at other international film festivals and been picked up by commercial distributors while DepicT! filmmakers have gone on to carve themselves successful careers in the film industry – some DepicT! alumni have even been named Stars of Tomorrow by industry mag Screen International.
Even when Encounters has wrapped up and the prizes have been collected DepicT! films continue to enjoy a life of their own through the DepicT! online archive. We’re proud of our rich history of films and talent at DepicT! and work hard to make sure your films are watched by films fans from Dubai to Detroit, Glasgow to Geneva, for years to come.
