The Shoot Me Film Festival is being held for the sixth time this year from October 8 to 17, 2010, at various locations in The Hague. For this edition, the independent film and music festival is once again organizing two competitions for national and international independent film and music video makers. The competition is already open.

Submissions can be made until June 15, 2010; prize winners will be announced during the festival from October 8 to 17, 2010 in The Hague.

Different Angle Film Competition
This film competition aims to encourage independent filmmakers to portray their vision of a current theme in an interesting and creative way, from a different angle than we are accustomed to. From all submissions, the 10 best films are nominated and screened during the festival. The ultimate winner of the Different Angle Film Award is chosen by a professional jury and announced during the festival from October 8 to 17, 2010. In 2009, the Different Angle Film Competition was won by Left Behind by directors Andreas Gräfenstein & Fabian Daub, Germany.

Dutch Music Video Competition
The first Dutch competition focused purely on the music video! Entries are judged by a jury on criteria including originality of concept, creativity in production choices, and balance between music and visuals. The jury consists of prominent extras in the fields of music and film. In 2009, these were Bart Rutten (curator at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam), Jonas Akerlund (multi-award-winning director), and Marco Grandia (music video director for artists such as Kane and Di-rect). The competition is divided into a national and an international selection. These awards will also be presented during the festival from October 8 to 17, 2010. In 2009, the Dutch Music Video Awards were won by: Best international music video: Hey / Artist: Eatliz, directed by Guy Ben Shetrit, Israel. Best Dutch music video: Squeeze Me / Artist: Kraak & Smaak, directed by André Maat and Henk Loorbach.

Shoot Me Film Festival
The Shoot Me Film Festival offers the public the opportunity to experience independent films, often combined with live music, at unique locations in The Hague. Shoot Me Film Festival aims to offer an alternative perspective on the world and approach generally accepted truths in different ways. The final say in this rests with the viewer; Shoot Me Film Festival merely provides a starting point by screening relevant films from the international independent circuit.
