Ffresh annually showcases the best moving image work produced by students and up and coming filmmakers from Wales, the UK, and abroad.
There are 2 ways which you can get your work shown at the festival. If you’re a student from a college or university in Wales you can enter your work into theffresh awards. The entry fee is £5 or free if you’re a student from any of the ffresh member institutions – submissions are open now and will close on October 26th. The films will be judged by a panel of industry professionals and the shortlists will be announced in January.
The other way of submitting your work to the festival is through the ffresh works, which consists of 4 categories: Explore, Dream, Discover, and Protect. The ffresh works are open to students from Wales, the UK, and abroad (so basically, everyone!) and are free to enter. Around 5 – 8 films will be selected in each category, which will be chosen by a number of guest curators.

He will illustrate this process with projects they’ve worked on including their popular CBeebies programme Rastamousethat follows the adventures of a crime-fighting, guitar-playing, skateboarding mouse and his friends, Scratchy and Zoomer as they “make a bad ting good”.
In my opinions the creative industry bases on
an important source that imagination and creation of human. The creative
industry order people to use their imagination or creation which is source from
the brain, then we should transform it to a product. So, there is another
question that how could we find the source of our creation? How to combine
these sources with our own think? How to export it and how to explain it to the
audience?
The Source Of Creation
How to find the source? History is an
significant source for us. The history could provides us many things which can
brings our memory. On the other hand we could know the popular tide insists in
history. To know what is the core culture of that period. For example, the Punk
style in 70’s, it has a magnificent influence for people until now. The Beatles
advance the Punk style to the world and it has a magic for people until now. “Punk’s
signature mixing of references was fueled by artistic developments such as Dada
and postmodernism,” said Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of The
Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The second important source is the culture.
As we know there are many different culture in the world. Each culture has it’s
core value. Although these culture has different developed process but we can
choose some part of it which can stand for the culture itself. For example, the
cowboy culture in America. The cowboy culture is a typical local culture and
the it spread all around the world. Just focus on the Hollywood, we can see the
west movies, that type of movie bases on the cowboy culture, it includes many
habits or nature facts of west culture.

The third source is the symbol. The symbol
also has an important influence for it’s period. On the ground of it, the key
is that symbol has guiding force. For example, a famous movie <<V For
Vedentta>>, the symbol “V” stands a brave, smart, foxy and daredevil man,
V. He dare to against the centralization of state power, not only himself, but
also the public. That the influence a “simple” symbol brings to us. Whatever
what symbol is, it is a spirit symbol for itself.
The film was originally scheduled for release by Warner Bros. on Friday, 4 November 2005 (a day before the 400th Guy Fawkes Night), but was delayed; it opened on 17 March 2006, to positive reviews. Alan Moore, having already been disappointed with the film adaptations of two of his other graphic novels, From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, after reading the script for V for Vendetta refused to view the film and subsequently distanced himself from it.
The film has been seen by many political groups as an allegory of oppression by government; libertarians and anarchistshave used it to promote their beliefs. Activists belonging to the group Anonymous use the same Guy Fawkes maskpopularized by the film when they appear in public at numerous high-profile events, emulating one of its key scenes. These masks have been seen at Occupy movement events. Lloyd is quoted saying: "The Guy Fawkes mask has now become a common brand and a convenient placard to use in protest against tyranny – and I'm happy with people using it, it seems quite unique, an icon of popular culture being used this way."
How To Transform Creation To Products
Any creation should has a good way to export
which we can handle best. So what way it is? It is depends on what way can
explain my mind best. For audience, the way should be easy to understand.
Because our art must be connect with the commerce, we must earn profit from our
major our products. Also, our products could show our mind to people.
Apple Inc., formerly Apple Computer, Inc., is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Cupertino,California[2] that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software and personal computers. Its best-known hardware products are the Mac line of computers, the iPod music player, the iPhonesmartphone, and the iPadtablet computer. Its software includes the OS X and iOSoperating systems, the iTunes media browser, the Safari web browser, and the iLife and iWork creativity and production suites. The company was founded on April 1, 1976, and incorporated as Apple Computer, Inc. on January 3, 1977.[6] The word "Computer" was removed from its name on January 9, 2007, reflecting its shifted focus towards consumer electronics after the introduction of the iPhone.
In my
opinion, the products should be a creation itself. We should not trip by
traditional style we should create the way/style of ourself. The creation is
itself without nothing.
