Robin Hood Tax - Film Competition

Tights. Camera. Action.
Calling on all budding filmmakers to make a Bankbuster for the Robin Hood Tax campaign

The Robin Hood Tax campaign is asking you to showcase your talents in a new short film competition which will be judged by Sienna Miller and Richard Curtis.

The Robin Hood Tax is a tiny tax on banks that would generate billions to tackle poverty and climate change, both here and abroad. Judges are looking for 60-90 second films, which reflect the aims of the campaign and inspire others to sign up.

Curtis, writer of the box-office hits Four Weddings and a Funeral and director of Love Actually, said: We are looking for original and creative films that sell the idea of the Robin Hood Tax in new and exciting ways. We want anyone who watches the winning films to turn to the person next to them and say I'm sure as hell supporting that!"

Prizes include a master-class with Richard Curtis, a spot on the Featured Video section of YouTube homepage and state of the art camera equipment is also up for grabs. There will be a separate category for under 18s, judged by Harry Potter star Tom Felton, Blake Harrison star of E4 comedy, The Inbetweeners and Joe Dempsie who is best known for his role as Chris Miles in Skins. Joining Curtis and Miller on the judging panel are: David Jones, CEO of Euro RSCG Worldwide and Havas Worldwide, Andy Hobsbawm, co-founder of Dothegreenthing.com and John Jackson, Vice President of Social Responsibility at MTV and Mike Goodridge, Editor of Screen International.

Competition closes on 31st August 2010. Entries from outside the UK accepted. To find out more or to see the entries so far go to:
