Short and Sweet has teamed up with Getty Images to launch a film challenge with a twist. Getty Images approached producer Basil Stephens and Short and Sweet founder Julia Stephenson with the idea of setting up a film competition which would make use of images in Getty's Hulton Archive. Stephenson drew from her in-depth knowledge of the short film arena to suggest a selection of talented filmmakers. After picking out ten up-and-coming directors, she gave them the opportunity to pitch. Four of the filmmakers made it on to the shortlist and got the chance to realise their ideas. They were given three months to create their films.
The challenges aim was to highlight the breadth and depth of content available at the Hulton Archive, which offers a unique resource to filmmakers and creatives alike. But rather than set a rigid brief, the challenge offered key words and phrases as prompters to guide the filmmakers creativity. Examples of these prompters included discover our past, images that shape our future, still & moving imagery, ordinary people, ordinary things and extraordinary people, extraordinary things.

No, you gotta just TELL them that Hitler died in 1945, so he couldn't have been at the 1948 Olympics. And that photography didn't exist when Jesus lived, or when the dodo lived.
But it's not impossible that there could've been a photo of the trained seals who carried secret messages. And some planes had cameras in World War II, and/or pilots carried a camera, so there could be pictures of the Battle of Britain taken in the air. And there could be a picture of what's supposed to be a yeti.

Surely that has to exist. It's just a matter of going through all the microfilm. Good lord! Do I have to explain everything?

Really love that Jack the Ripper joke.
