It's Contest Time!

1'1.

any of you have written asking about the annual CINEMAGIC Short Film Search. Last April, STARLOG and CINEMAGIC j udged entrants from our first competition and announced the winners at Balticon in Maryland . This year, we are pleased to announce that the second annual Short Film Search will be conducted in association with the prestigious School of Visual Arts in New York City. Full details will be discussed in the nellt issue ofClNEMAGIC, but for the mo· ment you should kn ow that all amateur and semi·pro films in Super·8 or 16mm of not more than 15 minutes in length will be accepted for judging. All entries should feature science fiction, horror or fantasy themes and can utilize live·action, animation and any special·effects technique desired.

JIIlanaglng Editor: Bob Woods

It is not necessary to create a film just for this contest; it can be a film you are working on now or have recently completed. However, if you are just starting a film , you should prepare to have it finished by early September in order to qualify for the judging. Awards and cash prizes will be presented to the winners at a gala theatrical screening of the finalists in New York City under the auspices of CINEMAGIC and The School of Visual Arts.
