So what is Random Acts?
Random Acts are short films by artists, not films about artists. They are bold expressions of creativity delivered in short film form. They come in many flavours: live action, animation, serious, cheeky; made by dancers, visual artists, poets, musicians, writers, filmmakers; they are between 90 seconds and 3 minutes long.
To get inspired why not check out some past work.
Tyneside Cinema is leading Random Acts Network Centre North, working in partnership with us here at HOME and leading production company True North (Leeds) to produced 24 short films by young creative talent each year for the next three years.
