CONTENTS 3 WELCOME 32 MUSIC VIDS 44 AWARDS 4 SCHEDULE 36 ANIMATION 46 AREA TO DO 6 FEATURES 38 NEW MEDIA 10 SHORTS 40 SCREENPLAYS WELCOME TO THE 7TH ANNUAL FILMQUEST In recent years I’ve written: “At FilmQuest, the “we” is more powerful than the “me.” All races, creeds, orientations, and ages are welcome. If you’ve ever felt lost or forgotten, or if you’ve ever felt neglected, we are here for you where there is a place for you amongst the stars. The more diverse we are, the richer and better we are for it, for FilmQuest is yours just as much as it is mine, and together we are all FilmQuest.”

I don’t think these words have ever been more true than now. After a year unlike any other, we’re all finally back together again. Celebrating each other’s achievements, discovering new voices, and making new friendships is what makes us a community, and it is also the lifeblood we need to fuel our own creativity and inspiration. Now more than ever we need each other.

Thus, during this May’s festival, and whether you’re attending physically or virtually, I request that each of you ensure that you make at least one new friend for life. Find someone you can collaborate with, share secrets with, and cherish until the end of your days.

After all, are you each not sorcerers? Wielders of creativity and powerful enchantments? So who better to make a conspirator with than a fellow FilmQuester, wherein you each see yourselves in each other.

As you search this Book of Sorcery, don’t be afraid to indulge in the magic that is weeved by each new spell you discover and revel in them.

You deserve this.

Sincerely, Jonathan Martin Founder & Director, FilmQuest THANK YOU TO OUR MAY 2021 SPONSORS!
