THE

MINI-MUSICALS

MISSION

Let's change the world

through music and film

“Mini Musicals - Alone on earth“ is a contest for new short-musical-films arranged by Smofa - Skaraborgs Musical and Film Academy, Sweden. 

 

This call is open to all writers and/or composers, no matter of age, gender, place of residence or amount of experience. 

​

Covid-19 changed all our lives. Now as some countries go (back) to lock down. what shall we as artists do? 

We don’t know the universal answer but we would like to give you the chance to activate your artistic skills and encourage you to write/ compose a story about a time which lies in the past between 1910 and 1970, but keeping in mind all the things which have happened since. 

 

"Alone on Earth" is a stimulating topic which will fire all of our imaginations. 

 

What does it mean to be alone? What happens on earth? Can we escape the  earth? Is the earth the whole world or just the little bit an ant walks on? Does all live arise from earth, like a plant or is earth the thing we go to after death?

 

Can one be alone in the society? Is one alone even when several people are in the room at the same time? Where is the person? Does something happen in the room during the time? Where is the person talking emotions? Did something happen before which informs the persons thoughts and feelings?

 

You can show a whole live in just 5 minutes… 

And it’s up to you to choose what to show!
