SAE Proud To Support Show Me Shorts

New Zealand’s premier international short film festival Show Me Shorts takes the stage this month and SAE are proud to sponsor the People’s Choice Award.

For its 16th year running, Show Me Shorts Film Festival will once again be delivering some of the best short films from across the globe into cinemas around New Zealand. With COVID restrictions impacting access to some cinemas, the festival will also provide an online, on- demand platform for those unable to make it to a cinema.

All entries are eligible for the SAE People’s Choice Award with voting open throughout the festival via the Show Me Shorts website. The winner of the SAE People’s Choice Award will be announced on the festival's digital media channels with the winner receiving a $1500 cash prize plus Final Draft writing software and an engraved bronze winner’s badge.

Director of SAE Auckland Dr Suzette Major, states that “this festival is very important for budding filmmakers, and we are very proud to be a part of it. Given that SAE is the tertiary institute of choice for so many budding filmmakers, it's very fitting that we are sponsoring the People’s Choice Award.”

Three online programme packages will be available and priced from $10 to $15. Please check the Show Me Shorts website for announcements regarding COVID restrictions.

SAE Auckland teaches filmmaking at both Diploma and Degree levels. The SAE Diploma in Screen Production and Bachelor of Screen Productions has just one intake per year, starting in February. The institute already has a huge number of applicants for the 2022 courses, so anyone keen to study filmmaking at SAE will need to apply soon.

Full dates and locations for the Show Me Shorts festival are available online.
