Ctrl.Alt.Shift is designed to engage the MySpace/Facebook /Twitter generation in global issues. Ctrl.Alt.Shift wants the youth of today to take control of their world, alter the way it works, and begin to shape the way the future looks.
On Thursday May 14th Ctrl.Alt.Shift will be hosting an evening of music and film, by young people for young people, that tackles current global issues and injustices.
The evening marks the culmination of a national competition launched by Ctrl.Alt.Shift in June 2008. The competition invited aspiring filmmakers aged between 18 and 25 to write a treatment based around one of three key issues - War + Peace, Gender + Power and HIV + Stigma. Those who won have been given the opportunity to bring their treatment to life on the big screen. In addition to being provided with a budget and cast, the prize included the money-can't-buy opportunity to be mentored by some of the UK's finest directors such as Aoife McArdle, Chris Harding from Shynola, Kinga Burza, Paul Andrew Williams and Jim Threapleton. The five winners (Joe Patrick & Tim Woodall, Tim Travers Hawkins, Fern Berresford, Ben Newman and Shelia Menon & Alex Monro) were announced in January 2009.
The result of these partnerships are five brilliant, engaging shorts
