Video sharing site Metacafe is partnering with Microcinema to launch the MetaFest online-offline film festival. Interested filmmakers can submit their works (ten minutes or less) through Metacafe between now and September 10, 2008.

The grand prize winner will receive $5,000 cash, and there will be a $2,000 cash prize for the “short-short” winner with the best film three minutes or less. Select films will be featured online at Metacafe for six months as well as be a part of the live, offline component with theatrical screenings in San Francisco as well as 60 to 80 other locations across the U.S. and Europe.
