North Carolina prepares for Cheese Sandwich Film Festival
University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Film Studies student Joselyn McDonald has closed off entries for the upcoming Cheese Sandwich Film Festival.
The deliciously named short film ceremony is free to enter but all submissions must come with a bribe to be accepted. All bribes will then be given out as a prize to the fans' favourite film.
Guidelines for the entries state that:
"1. The film has to be about a cheese sandwich. This can be loose.
2. The film must be creative.
3. The film must be under 3 minutes!"
As well as the film competition there will be a sandwich making contest on the day with prizes given out in two categories – "Eadam Up!" (tastiest sandwich) and "Lookin' Gouda" (best presentation).
The Cheese Sandwich Film Festival will be held on 1 April at Jengo's Playhouse, Wilmington, North Carolina.

I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
I was looking for a cheese themed film the other night - or at least a film with 'cheese' or a cheese type in the title - and I came across I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With. And it actually looks quite decent.
Anyone got any other suggestions for a good cheese film?
The I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With trailer now resides in the cheese news section of our new site.

Cheese can help reduce risk of cancer
Our Cheese can help reduce risk of cancer, and indeed all our cheese news can be found on our new site.
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute in America have found that dairy products such as cheese, yoghurt and low fat milk can help reduce the risk of certain cancers - by 23% in women and 16% in men.
The research, which has been ongoing since 1995, showed that both men and women who exceeded their recommended daily intake of calcium were less likely to get cancer inside the digestive system - particularly colorectal cancer (colon or large bowel cancer). American health authorities currently recommend that adults over the age of 50 consume 1200 mg of calcium a day while UK citizens are told that 700mg daily for an adult is sufficient.
Lead author Yikyung Park, Sc.D., of the National Cancer Institute, said: "Dairy food, which is relatively high in potentially anticarcinogenic nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D and conjugated linoleic acid, has been postulated to protect against the development of colorectal and breast cancer.
"In conclusion, our findings suggest that calcium intake consistent with current recommendations is associated with a lower risk of total cancer in women and cancers of the digestive system, especially colorectal cancer, in both men and women."
