Field notes
The festival set a compact production brief: entrants north of the 60th parallel had nine weeks to complete a genre short of no more than ten minutes, incorporating two elements revealed at registration. The page says every film that met the deadline screened and the audience voted. Its trophy gallery presents scans of the handmade Zombears, while the poster wall links 51 filmmaker-made posters to films.
