In
cooperation with IKV
Ice Dragon,
the
Great Lakes Film Association is proud to announce the first
annual Star Trek Convention and Independent Star Trek Film
Festival in Erie, Pennsylvania November 7th & 8th, 2008.
This
is not the kind of Star Trek film festival you may be used to.
It will NOT include showings of old episodes or running the Star
Trek movies Paramount has released during the last few decades.
This
is the first time that a film festival has been born with a
convention that will feature a competition between Star Trek
fans who have taken their passion for the genre to the next
level by filming their own short films, feature length films,
and episodes.
To
that end, the Great Lakes Film Association officially opens it's
call for entries internationally for the 2008 Star Trek confest.
The stories are their own creations. The filmmakers produce them
on their own without help from Paramount or Viacom. These films
range from live action to animation (whether drawn or computer
animated) to stop action.
There
will be no limit as to how long or short a film can be as long
as it has a story and some sort of characters involved. In other
words, we do not want to see films featuring just a Federation
communicator with music behind it. Just try to be creative!
