SUMMARY:West Lothian Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The West Lothian Film Festival was born from the dreams of its founder\, Christopher McPhillips. Inspired by an impactful marketing module during his West Lothian College days\, He harboured an unwavering passion to transform the fictional “Lodainn an Iar Film Festival” into a tangible reality as the “West Lothian Film Festival”. This festival embodies his commitment to bridging the gap between truly aspiring filmmakers and the enthusiastic audiences in West Lothian who are motivated and welcome a new cultural experience to look forward to on an annual basis. \nJonathan Nolan said “The secret to all drama\, film\, TV\, or books – the thing that people respond to most\, and the thing I find myself as a viewer feeling most interested in\, is the idea of change.” \nThis captures exactly what the West Lothian Film Festival is all about. We are a vibrant celebration of emerging film and TV talent rooted in the heart of West Lothian. We provide an engaging platform for up-and-coming filmmakers and creatives with a connection to not only West Lothian\, but Midlothian\, and East Lothian\, as they embark on the early stages of their careers. And as such\, change their respective futures. \nThe West Lothian Film Festival offers a cinematic experience to be remembered\, bringing drama\, creativity\, and local connections together. It serves as a rallying point for filmmakers and residents alike\, a celebration of the power that silver screen storytelling has to inspire and unite. Join us from July 19th to 21st in Bathgate and Livingston for a landmark event that will leave its mark on West Lothian’s cultural landscape\, not just in 2024\, but for years to come. \nCentred around the Drama genre in film and TV\, this first-of-its-kind cinematic event is underpinned by two fundamental objectives: \n– Filmmaker Engagement: The festival endeavours to attract filmmakers with affiliations to West Lothian\, spanning the geographical expanse of West Lothian\, Midlothian\, and East Lothian.\n– Audience Attraction: Primarily targeting residents of West Lothian (but would also welcome those who are keen to travel from further afield\, the festival aims to resonate with individuals who share a passion for film and TV. \nBy its exclusive thematic focus on Drama\, the film festival will serve as a pivotal platform for aspiring filmmakers to showcase their creative endeavours. Implicit in this initiative is the aspiration to cultivate a growing film community within the county. Moreover\, the festival’s emphasis on local affiliations will render it a homecoming for filmmakers while concurrently extending an open invitation to local residents\, thereby encouraging them to partake in the film festival. \nThis festival and awards event stands as the first-ever film festival of its kind in West Lothian\, marking a significant milestone in the region’s culturally rich landscape. The festival’s allure lies in its thematic focus on Drama and its diverse award categories\, creating ample opportunities for filmmakers to exhibit their works. \nNotably\, the Reconnect Theatres Adaptation Award\, an honour exclusively judged and presented by the Award-Winning Theatre Writer and Director Pete Sneddon\, promises to add an extra layer of excitement. A further special recognition award\, the Best of Festival Award coined the Matthew Farnham Award\, will be exclusively judged and presented by the marketing lecturer Matthew Farnham of West Lothian College\, who sparked the inspiration several years ago\, elevating the festival’s appeal. \n3 Day Festival\nDates: 19-21 July 2024\nLocations: Reconnect Regal Theatre\, 24 – 34 North Bridge Street\, Bathgate\, West Lothian\, EH48 4PS\nDress: N/A \nSchedule/Programme: Friday 19th – 10am to 6pm\, Saturday 20th – 10am to 6pm\, Sunday – 10am to 3pm\nThe full programme is to be confirmed via our social media channels and the official website. \nAward Ceremony 21 July 2024\nLocation: Howden Park Centre\, Howden\, Livingston\, West Lothian\, EH54 6AE\nDress Code: Strictly Black Tie \nSchedule\n17:00 – 19:00 Red Carpet & Drinks Reception\n19:00 – 20:00 Award Ceremony\n20:00 – 20:30 Break (Food and Drink)\n20:30 – 22:00 Award Ceremony continued\n22:00 – 23:59 Red Carpet \n*Times can change/be altered due to circumstances outwith our control\n**Seats cannot be reserved at the Festival or the Awards ceremony \n\n\n\n\nAwards & Prizes\n\n– Best Feature Film\n– Best Short Film\n– Best Student Film (short or feature)\n– Best Documentary\n– Best Animation\n– Best TV Series Pilot or Concept\n– Best Advert (TV or Online)\n– Best Actor\n– Best Actress\n– Best Director\n– Best First-Time Director\n– Best Producer\n– Best Cinematography\n– Best Screenplay\n– Best Soundtrack/Original Score\n– Best Voiceover\n– Best Makeup & Hairstyling\n– Best Costume Design\n– Best Gaelic Film & TV\n– Special International Award of Merit\n– ‘Matthew Farnham’ Award – (Best of Festival) \nDiscount Code\n50offstudentfilmmakers \n\n\n\nRules & Terms\n\n\nThe organisation \n1.

Films that are selected for festival viewings must be made available via a link that the festival or the venue staff have access to. Failure to preview an accessible link will result in a disappointed audience. It is presumed that that the links made available at the point of submission will be accessible and if the link no longer works when the submission is being considered for festival viewing and nominee for the category award this will result in the submission not being progressed. Therefore it is the responsibility of the submitter to ensure that the upload on the FilmFreeway platform works. \n30. All films selected for festival viewing will be programmed at least once throughout July 19th\, 20th and 21st.

Films will be screened on a password-protected platform for a period of no more than 48 hours\, geo-blocked to the UK for public access\, but available for all accredited international industry attendees. Selected filmmakers will be informed in advance of this change\, and will have the opportunity to withdraw their film from selection if they so wish. In the event of withdrawal\, submission fees will not be refunded. \nVideo Library and Archive \n33. All films selected for screening will be copied onto a local server and made accessible to accredited industry guests in our video library during the festival. The primary contact details given on the entry form will be made available to festival delegates and in the festival catalogue unless a distributor is identified. \n34. WLFF may promote a range of new Scottish work submitted to the festival to international industry talent scouts\, programmers\, and buyers year-round via a private password-protected online hub. \n35.

WLFF will never publicly screen or publish online a film for which permission has not been granted. \nFurther Screenings – Out-of-Competition Selection and Touring Programmes \n36. If selected for the festival and or as a Nominee\, the submitter authorises WLFF to file their film in the festival archive\, where it may be made available for further screenings or events promoted by the festival itself\, solely for cultural and not for commercial purposes (unless otherwise specified on accepting an invitation to screen at the festival). The festival will always request permission and give reasonable notice before proceeding with any further screening\, whether theatrical or online. The festival will never allow any third party access to the film without the submitter’s permission. \n37. WLFF may curate out-of-competition screenings or themed touring programmes from films that were submitted to the festival\, including those that were not selected as Nominees. These programmes will be subject to a separate agreement between the festival and filmmaker. Where possible screening fees or other forms of financial reimbursement will be offered. \nPublicity \n38. In addition to the reproduction of stills of selected films for all WLFF publications and press\, selected films may also be screened as part of preview screenings to promote WLFF 2024. \nSubmission Agreement \n39. At the point of payment on your submission you will be asked if you have read and agreed with the festival’s regulations. By agreeing to proceed with your submission you are agreeing to these regulations and your application can then be processed. Entry of a film is binding and implies acceptance of these regulations. \n40. In the event of disagreement concerning the interpretation of the regulations\, the interpretation of the festival will take precedence. \n41. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in the submission being disqualified. \n42. These regulations are subject to change without prior notice. \nDelivery Instructions for Selected Films \n43. Full delivery instructions will be provided on notification of selection. \n44.
