Loved this one...

I'm curious to hear more about the Cave Clan Short Film Festival.

Posted by Steed I'm curious to hear more about the Cave Clan Short Film Festival.

Every second year after winter we would rotate two major every - RATS - Race Around The System - basically Amazing Race in drains & abandoned stuff, and then The Cave Clan Short Film Festival the following year.

What I liked most about the SFF was all branches could get involved and we'd all hold the screening on the same night in each city.

Basically, members were encouraged to shoot videos over the two years... there was a bunch of rules/suggestions... maximum 5 minutes... Clan or urbex related... tight edits, not 5 minutes of shaky footage in the same unchanging tunnel or building... jeez, I'd have to look it up, but the goal was to get 120 minutes of clips... which is a lot... considering most ran for less than 5 minutes.

Most I can't show because they show people or stealth locations, but there were some beauties.

Most of the bizarre videos I shot were for the CCSFF (Extreme Hardcore Urbex for example).

Some were total shit of course.

I'll try and put more up.

So this was held simultaneously in multiple cities? Where, in tunnels, or in topside venues?

I like that you had a maximum five minutes.

I just had a UE film festival over here, and originally we said over 5 minutes, less than 20. But shorter videos seem like the way to go.

Sorry, missed your response.

Yeah... we kind of let the better film makers get away with longer clips.

We held them in tunnels and abandoned buildings.

Cave Clan does just as much above ground stuff as it does underground stuff.
The name is very misleading.

If you do another one, I would gladly shoot one especially for the event.

A lot of our short film submissions were of people having a laugh.
These will probably be frowned up.
It's 3 x 1 minute videos by a guy called Ath.
