ABOUT THE COMPETITION
PQA and MediCinema believe in the transformative power of film and filmmaking. How stories can inspire and offer escape.
PQA are proud to be sponsoring MediCinema and we challenge our student filmmakers to make a ninety second short film on the theme of ‘A Hero’s Journey’.
Most films that we see on the big screen feature hero’s, hero’s that make us feel that anything is possible and that we have the power within us to overcome lives challenges.
We want to see films that inspire us. Films that show us your version of heroism
We want to know what this means to you, who are your hero’s? are they fantastical or real? Close to you, or from far away? How do their journeys inspire us?
Most of all we are looking for films that are fun and stories that take us to another place for a moment. Show us what you think and feel on screen.
