We are now accepting proposals from people who would like to present their latest big ideas, projects or products at SHOWCASE at the Foyle Film Festival at The Nerve Centre, Derry on November 24th.

The theme is The Future of Moving Media and we’re particularly interested in hearing from people with exciting projects that blend moving image content (like film, TV, video or animation) with the web or mobile platforms.

Maybe you’ve developed a web TV show or are using mobile platforms to deliver your animated content. Perhaps you’ve financed your indy film through online donations or are using user-generated video content in exciting ways.

Whatever it is you do, have a quick read of some of the guidelines below and then visit our contact page.

Presenting at SHOWCASE

The core of SHOWCASE are the demos and presentations from exciting startups, growing businesses and boundary pushing professionals.

If you would like to apply to demo at SHOWCASE – or know someone who should – here’s the gist of it:

• Your presentation should have a specific, tangible focus - a new product, project, business, or even something you’re planning, is ideal - think practice not theory.
• Your project can be up and running, about to launch, a work in progress or even just a big idea that you’re trying to make happen - the fresher the better
• Make it good great phenomenal. Stay away from dull Powerpoint presentations - get creative and make it exciting.
• The more innovative the idea the better
• Client projects and commissions will also be considered but the presentations will be very public so make sure you clear it first
• Demos will run to about 10 minutes + questions
• Chances are we’ll want to film it

It’s worth pointing out that we don’t take everything – just the stuff we think brings something new to the table – but we invite anyone who’s interested in demoing to get in touch.

For those that do present it’s a great opportunity to get your new projects in front of a roomful of smart folk who can help you get the word out and provide feedback.

To apply, simply get in touch with some details about your project.
