Tights, Camera, Action: Sienna Miller & Richard Curtis to judge new Robin Hood film competition

The Robin Hood Tax campaign is calling on budding filmmakers to showcase their talents in a new short film competition (robinhoodtax.org/competition), which will be judged by Sienna Miller and Richard Curtis.

Curtis, writer of the box-office hits Four Weddings and a Funeral and director of Love Actually, said: We are looking for original and creative films that sell the idea of the Robin Hood Tax in new and exciting ways. We want anyone who watches the winning films to turn to the person next to them and say I'm sure as hell supporting that!"

The Robin Hood Tax is a tiny tax on banks that would generate billions to tackle poverty and climate change, both here and abroad. Judges are looking for 60-90 second films, which reflect the aims of the campaign and inspire others to sign up.

Prizes include a master-class with Richard Curtis, being featured on youTubes home page and camera equipment is also up for grabs. There will be a separate category for under 18s, judged by Harry Potter star Tom Felton, Blake Harrison star of E4 comedy, The Inbetweeners and Joe Dempsie who is best known for his role as Chris Miles in Skins. Joining Curtis and Miller on the judging panel are: David Jones, CEO of Euro RSCG Worldwide and Havas Worldwide, Andy Hobsbawm, co-founder of Dothegreenthing.com and John Jackson, Vice President of Social Responsibility at MTV and Mike Goodridge, Editor of Screen International.
