Selected from 6000 entries from over 100 countries, each year's 300-plus film programme includes the shnit-OPEN international competition, in which 60 films compete for four international jury and audience awards – the Flaming Faun trophy - and prize money totalling over R1,000,000. No shnitting! Only the most thrilling, entertaining and high quality films find their way into the shnit program – the only criteria: that a film is contemporary, cutting edge and stand-out in terms of quality!
And naturally, the best in South African shorts take centre-stage every night! The MADE IN SOUTH AFRICA award category and as the out-of-competition KAAPSE BOBOTIE showcase ensure that shnit in Cape Town has a truly local flavour.

Submit now! Films 1-40 minutes (strictly, including credits) are eligible.

Entries close July 2013. See www.shnit.org for details
