HollyShorts is teaming up with the Humans in Space Art Program and Waterstone Entertainment as an official Film Festival partner for the Humans in Space Art Video Challenge. The Humans in Space Art Program is working with NASA’s International Space Station Program to encourage the creation of videos focused on the future of space, science and technology, and its impact on Earth.  The Challenge is currently accepting film submissions and inviting filmmakers and students around the world to send in their creative videos, 3 minutes long or less, that explore “How will space, science, and technology benefit humanity.”

The video artwork can be of any style featuring original animation, sketches, music, live action, poetry, dance, drama, apps, etc. The winning project wins a cash prize of $5,000 courtesy of the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS). The winning video will also take a trip into orbit on the Space Station, and NASA will provide montages with flown patches for the winners. In addition, the winning film will be showcased at the 11th Annual HollyShorts Film Festival (TCL Chinese Theater August 13-22, 2015).
