About the festival

Due to the current situation, UICA’s Open Projector Night is excited to announce that we’re launching an At Home Short Film Contest! We’re encouraging filmmakers to get creative and shoot a short film within their own home using only their smartphone.
All genres and subject matter will be accepted.

Please note*
This isn’t a typical Open Projector Night and the winning film will premier online rather than screening in our venue. However, once we resume normal hours of operation the winning film will screen in our next Open Projector Night in front of a live audience.

About UICA:

UICA presents innovative art, movies, and educational programs that represent our world today. Our programs foster belonging by sharing perspectives that grow an equitable, thriving culture, and community.

The winner will receive:

*UICA Family Level Membership (validated once we reopen)
*2 UICA film passes
*UICA quarantine mask
*Winning film will screen in the next Open Projector Night in front of a live audience.
*Winning film will be hosted on UICA's web-site with an interview with the filmmaker.
