Be part of London 2012’s short film competition
Film Nation Shorts was a film competition for young people aged 14–25 to make short films, telling their own stories in their own way.
Young people across the UK learned how to make a film from scratch – through workshops, master classes and Q&A sessions.
Films were then uploaded onto this site to compete for monthly and annual awards. Best of all, winners’ work was screened at iconic London 2012 venues during the Games!
