If you’re a documentary filmmaker and you fancy a quick shot at fame on Channel 4, there’s a new competition being launched next month with your name on it.

To celebrate the release of Guy Maddin’s My Winnipeg, Channel 4 are looking for UK filmmakers to make a three minute documentary about your home town.  The winning films will screen both on Channel 4 and at the Branchage Film Festival.  You could even win a holiday to Winnipeg!

The competition kicks off on the 1st July, check out the competition home page for more details, and to set yourself a reminder.

To get you in the mood, here’s the trailer for My Winnipeg.

Think I might have a go myself…
