Very short notice and just over the border of Eden, but a fantastic oportunity to showcase local talent…

Each year the Keswick Festival celebrates local film making by showing a selection of short films with a Cumbrian connection.

In 2009 the Cumbrian Short Film Awards were established to recognise and reward the talented film makers from, or working in, the region.

Submissions are now being accepted for short films to show at the 11th Keswick Film Festival in February 2010.
