Film Stylo 2022

Silver Linings

A free filmmaking and emotional wellness initiative for students aged 12-15

About

With every aspect of students’ lives affected by the pandemic, it may be hard to feel inspired and be creatively productive. But this unprecedented time in our lives can also be a rich source of creativity.

Students aged 12-15 based in Hong Kong are now invited to participate in Film Stylo, a filmmaking and emotional wellness initiative for students to create personal films at home based on a shared theme.

Any student with interest in creative expression can submit a film based on the guidelines below. Submitted films will be considered for a screening in Summer 2022 (depending on the public health situation), and the Top 10 films will also be announced.

“Film Stylo offers a creative outlet – and a human connection – during the pandemic”
— Kylie Knott, South China Morning Post

Filmmaking Guidelines

To promote filmmaking as a means for personal expression, films made as part of Film Stylo should be made according to certain guidelines, which can be followed by students with any or no prior filmmaking experience. We will be shortlisting submitted films based on these guidelines.

An example on the style of Film Stylo projects (the guidelines were different for this particular film.)

  • 1-3 minutes in length

  • Voice-over based (subtitles instead of voice-overs is also accepted)

  • Made in response to this year’s theme Silver Linings

  • Rule 1: Your face should be shown in a reflection in one, and only one, shot (ex. pointing a camera at the mirror)

  • Rule 2: No screen recordings are allowed; and you can only show a digital screen in a maximum of one shot

Submission Deadline (Extended): May 31st, 2022
