CONTEST TOPIC
Dystopian films serve as stark visual warnings of the worst dangers facing humanity. From environmental catastrophes resulting in disease, drought, or famine, to oppressive societies run by powerful corporate, religious, or technological tyrannies, we can’t seem to get enough of these films depicting foreboding futures. If you’re a fan of the films like Blade Runner, The Road, or The Handmaid’s Tale, this contest is for you. We invite you to write a short film screenplay set in a dystopian future, where our protagonists navigate a society dealing with threats like climate change, nuclear war, over-population or authoritarianism. Be sure to review the contest guidelines!
