Asif Kapadia and Jason Solomons on straight 8 jury

We announced earlier this month that straight 8, the film competition that challenges people to make a short film on one cartridge of Kodak Super 8mm cine film with no retakes, no editing and no post-production, is returning following a three-year hiatus.

Now the competition has announced a line-up of high-profile judges for this year’s completion. That line-up includes three-time BAFTA winning director, writer and producer Asif Kapadia (Senna, Amy); double Oscar-nominated director of photography Ed Lachman (Carol, Far From Heaven); Channel 4’s Random Acts commissioning editor, Pegah Farahmand; Altitude Film Distribution’s head of distribution Hamish Moseley and, chairing the jury, film critic and author, Jason Solomons.

Winners of the competition can look forward to seeing their film at a screening during the Cannes Film Festival 2016, as well as the chance to be selected for Channel 4’s Random Acts strand.

The deadline to enter the competition is midnight PST, Monday 29 February. The deadline for the finished film delivery to London is Monday 4 April, 7pm GMT.
