SIGNATURE ITEM:
New one will be announced!
A signature item is for the purpose of identifying that the film was produced for the express purpose of the Festival in the year of the current Festival.
The signature item is an item that must appear somewhere in the film at some point during the narrative (not in the credits). It may appear as an image in the background, a logo, an ornament, item of jewelry, poster, emblem, live footage incorporating the item or any other form at the filmmakers discretion. It may even be used as a key element or feature of the film. For eg. For 2022 the longtail may be a brooch on a shirt, an earring, a sticker on the wall in the background of a scene, a cut-away shot of the bird flying, or any minimally invasive usage. Or you could even make a film about Longtails to feature the item.
