Historic Events

I would like to add three historic events from 2000-2003. All of these events met the imdb event criteria in the past but now no longer exist. These events are: The Kodak BAFTA European Short Film Showcase, The Turner Classics Shorts Competition and finally The BBC British Short Film Featival. Please advise.

Hi Maya. Thank you for getting back. Sure! Alexis. BBC British Short Film festival - https://www.netribution.co.uk/news/festivals_awards/00-09-brit_short_film_fest.html Turner Classics Shorts Competition - https://www.knighthallagency.com/client/susan-everett/ Kodak BAFTA European Short Film Showcase - I cannot find anything online for this event. I have remembered we came 'runner up' for To Catch a Crow and not simply 'in competition' but that's not much use if I can't find any links online. I will try to find more.

The Kodak BAFTA European Short Film Showcase was an event that ran as part of the Cannes Film Market during the Cannes Film Festival. I honestly cannot remember if it lasted more than one or three years. I do remember that To Catch a Crow was in competition. It was a way for BAFTA to showcase talent and it was sponsored by Kodak. I am looking through my emails to try and find it.

Hi Maya. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get to this. I have submitted three event forms by email to you guys. Please let me know if you need anything else. I think the Kodak BAFTA European Short Film Showcase Cannes will be hard to 'prove', but it did exist.

Hi Malagaaunike. Thank you so much for looking into this for me. Unfortunately its not so helpful. This event was very much a sponsorship opportunity for Kodak and part of the market (rather than the festival). It was a way of showcasing British shorts that didn't make it into Cannes. Also, it started in 2000 and ended (I think) in 2003.
