Explore, play and remix the capital until midnight 13th June
Is London your home, or just the place where you live?
London Recut challenges you to take London’s history in your hands – and remix it. Shape it into something that’s meaningful and makes sense to you.
View over 100 clips of never-before-available moving image archive material and recut them into your own short film. Enter it into the competition and win the chance to see your film on the big screen! Winners will get the chance to edit their films professionally and see them screened at Rushes Soho Shorts Film Festival and as a part of a special touring programme throughout London. You can also win a FLIP camera.
Deadline extended: midnight, 13th June 2010

More about the project: DFG's award-winning sister company Mosaic Films has partnered with Film London, the BFI, and the London’s Screen Archives network – which includes the Imperial War Museum, the London Transport Museum and individual boroughs across London – to create an innovative online film initiative and competition.
The competition jury will consist of the great and the good from London’s creative industries and media, including Robert Elms from BBC London; Adrian Wootton, CEO of Film London; Munira Mirza, Cultural Advisor to the Mayor of London; and YouTube’s bad boy of archive remix, Cassetteboy.
All entries will be put to an online public vote from 7th – 20th June 2010.
London Recut is supported by Film London through the UK Film Council's Digital Film Archive Fund.
