Welcome to the DivX Film Festival, an online video festival devoted to storytelling, creation and improving digital media.
This is a great opportunity for independent filmmakers around the world - whether this is your first film or your five-thousandth - to discover the power of digital expression with DivX technology, and get some great exposure in the process.
Now's your chance to win some cool prizes and cash to help finance your next production, or maybe replace that old camera you've been lugging around.
The next generation of filmmaking starts now. Think you've got what it takes to make your mark?
