With the successful Atlanta show at Trilith Studios now ended, Cine Gear Expo organizers are looking at the future, so it’s time for cinema technology enthusiasts to mark their calendar for 2024’s Expos. Dates are set for Cine Gear Expo New York, held at historic Industry City, March 14-16. Look out for the Los Angeles Expo, to be held June 6-9, 2024, as well as the next Cine Gear Expo Atlanta, October 4-5, 2024.
Since 1996, Cine Gear Expo has served film and video industry professionals by providing them the opportunity to see the newest, cutting-edge equipment; to learn about new production services; and, network with peers all within a comfortable studio environment. The Film Series at Cine Gear Expo is a show staple that invites diverse creators to show off their work, with the selected films being screened at Cine Gear Expo LA 2024.
Filmmakers are now invited to enter their projects and Expo attendees can mark their calendars for next year’s upcoming shows. Categories include Commercials/Music Videos, Independent Short Films, and Student Films. Filmmakers participating will receive tickets to the VIP Party and awards ceremony. Winners will be selected from each category to receive a production prize package, sponsored by some of the world’s top cine gear companies. Entrants are asked to provide a link to their project, along with a synopsis, key crew bios, and additional information.
For participating on the student competition you must be a currently registered student in order to submit your film/video and you must send a copy of your current Student ID card or proof of current registration. “No Exceptions”, the organizers say, adding that “If you are recently graduated (i.e., you graduated 2 years or less prior to screening) you must have been a student when the film was made” and noting, also, that “Students who began their project in school and have graduated but have not completed their project, must have completed the film within 6 months of graduation. Proof of registration or student ID required.”
The early deadline for submissions is October 31, 2023, but the organizers also accept the following dates:
Regular Deadline: December 31, 2023
