This is the fun competition for movie making clubs in the U.K. The dividing line between North and South is drawn East to West through Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire.

The idea is that a theme is set and then clubs and societies are invited to submit entries up to a maximum of 20 minutes long.

The North selects their best five and the South does the same. These 10 movies are entered into the grand final.

The competition has evolved into being organised by two clubs: Newcastle ACA for the North and Orpington Video and Film Makers for the South.

At each stage the audience are asked to choose their top five films, just for fun. Those seldom match the judges' decisions.

The theme for 2008 is Be Prepared.
