Since we're in a culture of sound-bites, microchips, txt mssgs, and incredibly short attention spans, there is the Ten Second Film Competition. Good and interesting things can happen in ten seconds, within the competition rules. Entries must be exactly ten seconds long and no bigger than 6MB, and can be made using a digital still camera in movie-mode. Upload your film via the web site between February 3 and March 10, where qualifying entries will be online for site visitors to rank. The top ten user-rated films will then be judged by David Wild, Melanie Crean and Jake Abraham, with cash and kudos going to the top three. The clock is ticking... -Helen Varley Jamieson
