PROJECTS ‘22

Most people have never made a film before university. OUFF produces short films to give experience to those starting out. These are the films from the second year of the scheme.

PROJECTS ’21

OUFF’s Projects scheme utilises scripts submitted to our annual screenwriting competition to support new filmmakers. Filmmakers apply for Director and Producer roles during the summer (or filmmakers can register interest for additional roles). OUFF pairs Directors and Producers to 5 page scripts of their choice and assists them through casting, crew, and pre-production. Crews are given the equipment for free during Michaelmas Term and are supported by a grant from the society. The Projects films are automatically selected for the OUFF Short Film Festival in Hilary Term.
