• No film can be too political
• We accept everything - from direct polemic, to experimental film, from original fiction to observational documentary.
• We want opinion, analysis, personal stories, ideology, vision and fresh perspectives.
• Challenge, explore, celebrate, discuss…

In short, any film that you feel is radical is welcome. As long as it is short (under 30 minutes).

We will be giving awards in the following categories:

Films made by activists and full time film-makers:

• Best Factual Film
• Best Fiction Film

Films made by Students:

• Best Fiction Film
• Best Factual Film

Deadline for entries: 21 June 2016

Our theme this year is 'Cultures of Resistance', so we particularly welcome films that enrich our understanding of this.

Shortlisted Small Axe films will be screened at the Tolpuddle Radical Film Festival in Dorset from the 14th to 17th July 2016. The awards event will take place on the morning of Sunday 17th.
