Giphy要创办史上最短电影节！作品只有18秒

GIPHY, the major GIF search engine, is throwing the very first GIPHY Film Fest for filmmakers up to the challenge of creating 18 seconds or less short films.

GIPHY是一个在线动态GIF图片搜索引擎。最近，平台正在做一个GIPHY电影节，让电影制作人挑战一个18秒或更短的电影。

According to the rules on GIPHY's site, creators can submit a maximum of three movies in the narrative, stop-motion, animated, experimental, or wildcard/other categories.

根据官网的规则，每个参赛者最多能递交三个小电影竞赛，主要有以下5个类别，它们分别是：叙事、静态动画、动画、实验性作品和其它类别。

Submissions must also be looped, high definition, and in mp4 format with 16:9/1080p resolution. Having sound depends on the creators, but all entrants must be U.S. residents and over 18.

上交的参赛作品必须是循环的，高像素的，MP4格式的，16：9屏幕像素是1080p。必须是参赛者的原创，必须是美国居民，年龄要满18岁。

GIPHY spokesperson Tiffany Vazquez told Quartz: “One of the biggest things to come out in recent years is Vine. People were telling stories and entertaining themselves in six seconds.

该公司发言人 Tiffany Vazquez 在接受 Quartz 采访时说道，近年来其中一款最火的互联网产品是几年前的 Vine，用户发布一个六秒的视频，内容可以讲故事，也能娱乐自己。

There's really no reason why filmmakers can't give us compelling, entertaining, profound art within that amount of time, too.”

在这么短的时间里同样可以展示引人注目的、有趣的、深刻的小电影。

The festival will begin on November 8 in New York, and the winner will be awarded $10,000 USD, a five-year Squarespace subscription. You can submit now to September 27.
