Giphy要創辦史上最短電影節！作品只有18秒

GIPHY, the major GIF search engine, is throwing the very first GIPHY Film Fest for filmmakers up to the challenge of creating 18 seconds or less short films.

GIPHY是一個在線動態GIF圖片搜索引擎。最近，平臺正在做一個GIPHY電影節，讓電影製作人挑戰一個18秒或更短的電影。

According to the rules on GIPHY's site, creators can submit a maximum of three movies in the narrative, stop-motion, animated, experimental, or wildcard/other categories.

根據官網的規則，每個參賽者最多能遞交三個小電影競賽，主要有以下5個類別，它們分別是：敘事、靜態動畫、動畫、實驗性作品和其它類別。

Submissions must also be looped, high definition, and in mp4 format with 16:9/1080p resolution. Having sound depends on the creators, but all entrants must be U.S. residents and over 18.

上交的參賽作品必須是循環的，高像素的，MP4格式的，16：9屏幕像素是1080p。有沒有聲音取決於創作人自己。此外，參賽者必須是美國居民，年齡要滿18歲。

GIPHY spokesperson Tiffany Vazquez told Quartz: “One of the biggest things to come out in recent years is Vine. People were telling stories and entertaining themselves in six seconds.

該公司發言人 Tiffany Vazquez 在接受 Quartz 採訪時說道，近年來其中一款最火的互聯網產品是幾年前的 Vine，用戶發佈一個六秒的視頻，內容可以講故事，也能娛樂自己。

There's really no reason why filmmakers can't give us compelling, entertaining, profound art within that amount of time, too.”

在這麼短的時間裏同樣可以展示引人注目的、有趣的、深刻的小電影。

The festival will begin on November 8 in New York, and the winner will be awarded $10,000 USD, a five-year Squarespace subscription. You can submit now to September 27.

這個微型電影節將會在11月8日的紐約開幕。此外，獲勝者，可以拿到一萬美元的獎金、 Squarespace五年會員。 現在就可以提交作品啦，作品截至到9月27日。
