RUBBISH
We kick off 2020 with our first Film to a Theme project and one we think you can have some fun with.
Rubbish might conjure up what we throw away on a daily basis that ends up stinking the house out and being a eyesore on the landscape. But this is just one interpretation of this rubric – we could ask what happens to the rubbish after we throw it out. Maybe if you have environmental concerns on the impact of how our waste is handled this is something you could discuss in your film.
Most rubbish these days can to be recycled but who does this job? How about a film saluting the unsung heroes who get up in the wee hours to wake us up when they collect our rubbish very week and their colleagues at the rubbish tips who are prepared to get down and dirty to sort everything out and make sure it goes to the right places. Perhaps you have an insight to the whole recycling process you could document.
Ever been to a scrap yard for sundry metals or cars? Share it with us. Is fly tipping ruining your neighbourhood? Share us your rant or make a comedy out of it. You know the saying “One man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure” (not gender exclusive btw)? There’s an idea for a short film too. People talk a load of rubbish too, how about exposing them for a laugh?
These are just some suggestions but no doubt you can come up with many more of your own and come up with something to share with us on the screening evening set for the club meeting on Tuesday February 18th 2020, giving you plenty of time to work your magic.
Good luck and thanks for reading.
not a comment – a question? Feb 4th is Holiday films, what is the max length for this please?

I believe it is five minutes unless the committee have changed their mind again. But I would work to that maximum just to be safe. 🙂
My recollection is that it used to be ten minutes (usually taken out of a longer film), but I could be wrong.
It used to be 10 minutes but the committee reduced it to 5 minutes a couple of years back to help people stay awake for the whole meeting. However because the message didn’t get through to some people, it’s become confusing as to whether it was relaxed or not.
