Atlanta Film Society and Kodak Film Lab ATL present the 100 Feet of Film Project

It's back! The Atlanta Film Society (ATLFS) and Kodak are in partnership to present the 100 Feet of Film Project. This project provides a team of filmmakers with the opportunity to maximize their creativity while minimizing the ability to reshoot. Through this project, filmmakers will learn to effectively and efficiently shoot on a limited reel of film stock and in the process must focus on the fundamentals of filmmaking.

HOW IT WORKS

A maximum number of 30 teams can register. Participating filmmakers will receive 100 feet of film stock and approximately 3 months to shoot. In October-November, one member of each team may participate in an Introduction to 16mm Film workshop, presented by Kodak. In January, one member from each team will have the opportunity to visit the Kodak film processing lab in Atlanta as they turn in their film stock to be processed. Raw footage will be delivered as a digital file in January and filmmakers will have approximately one month to edit their final film. On Monday, March 3, 2025, all participating films will screen at the Plaza Theatre. Two films will be chosen as winners following this screening. The winning films will screen at the 2025 Atlanta Film Festival. Space is limited. Only the first 30 teams will be able to participate. The final deadline for signups is November 20th, or once the maximum number of teams has been reached.

    Film Stock & Final Cut

    • Each team is allotted 100 feet of Kodak film. Each group may choose between four different film stocks, Daylight (7203 or 7207) or Tungsten (7213 or 7219). Each team will receive one 100 foot roll of film. 

    • Please note: the allotment of film you are given will likely NOT allow for reshoots or multiple takes. Please take this into consideration when planning your film and shoot. There will be NO guarantee of replacement film should your 100 feet allotment be damaged in any way. 

    • Your final film must consist ONLY of film stock shot during the program. No additional footage (on film or otherwise) will be accepted. We will be comparing your film stock to the final film!

    • Film stock may be manipulated however you please (slowed down, sped up, repeated, etc.). However, film footage must be visible throughout the run time. For example, while you can create an animated sequence on top of your film footage, you cannot insert a solely animated sequence into the film.

    • Access to a 16mm camera is NOT included in registration. Neither Kodak or ATLFS can guarantee providing access to one.

    • The final film must be a minimum of 30 seconds long and a maximum of 5 minutes long. Title card and credits do not count towards the final run time, but the end credits cannot be longer than the actual film (trust us, no one wants to sit through that). 

    DATES & TIMELINE

    • Depending on the time of sign-up, teams will have at minimum one month to shoot their film. Failure to turn in footage to Kodak by the due date will result in disqualification (and may prevent you from having your film processed).

    • Film stock will be processed and digitized by Kodak Film Lab Atlanta. Film will be processed via normal process only, any push or pull process will be .06 cents per foot extra per stop.

    • ATLFS will receive the digital files from Kodak Film Lab Atlanta and distribute the digitized footage to each team. Teams will have approximately one month to edit this footage.

    • Final film must be submitted to ATLFS no later than February 21, 2025 in order for it to be included in the final showcase and remain eligible for any awards.

    • All eligible films will screen at the Plaza Theatre on March 3, 2025. Two prizes will be awarded following this screening, one Jury Award and one Audience Award. The prize-winning films will screen during the 2025 Atlanta Film Festival, alongside one or more of ATLFF's official selections.
