THE AWARDS
Each year Exeter Phoenix Digtial commissions artists to produce the awards for Two Short Nights Film Festival, and each year we've been thrilled by the results of their work.
We are currently on the look out for an artist to create the awards for Two Short Nights 2011. The awards need to be unique and represent the celebration of 10 years of Two Short Nights.
If you are an artist and would like to find out more about this opportunity please get in touch wih Exeter Phoenix Digital. .
2010 awards
Last year, Devon based artist Hatt Reiss created the Festival's awards. Hatt's approach to the brief was playful and very imaginative. Each award was handmade with a mechanical element which made the awards spin to a tune when a handle was turned.

2009 Awards
In 2009, Bristol-based artist Frances Davidson's amazing awards consist of a glass dome fixed onto a cast resin base resulting in what is in effect a giant snow globe. Inside the dome of each award is an individually hand-crafted miniature model of a filmmaking icon. The chosen icons include a megaphone, an old film camera, a director's chair, a film reel complete with miniature film of Eadweard Muybridge's study of a man walking and a clapper board containing details of an obscure 1960's porn film. As if this wasn't adequate the artist has finished each piece off by including inside them, along with the traditional glitter and stars, several individually cast pieces of resin popcorn and on the base a handle that when turned play Lara's Theme from Dr Zhivago. Thank you Frances for such an amazing contribution.
