The Oscars may be over for another year, but a prestigious Gloucestershire cinema event is just beginning.

The Butterfly Garden, a county gardening project for people with disabilities, is inviting film makers to submit their short films for its gala event, The Can Short Film Festival.

Entries can be any genre, from drama to documentary to comedy, but they they should have a reference to or connection to recycling. They can be of any length up to five minutes.

Entries will be screened at a black tie celebration at a local cinema. Celebrities and representatives of the recycling industry will be among the invited audience members.

Judges will award £250 and the highly prized 2018 Farm D'or to the overall winner.

The closing date for entries is 30th June.
