CALL: First International Video Reporting Award

http://www.backup-festival.com/

Deadline: September 15, 2004

The International Video Reporting Award is an international competition for short, innovative, non-fiction, digital filmmaking. The films must be helmed by a single person who is solely responsible for content, direction, camera, sound and editing, and who fully explores the creative dimensions of digital technology. The filmmaker should also be taking on the challenge of autonomous production and distribution.

The preselection committee and the jury will be looking for excellence in content, as well as for imaginative use of documentary techniques.

The Top Prize carries an award of 1000 Euros.
In addition, the Michael Rosenblum Junior Award will be conferred, containing a personal two-day training with the tv creator Michael Rosenblum.

The award ceremony will take place during the backup_festival in Weimar/Germany Oktober, 7. - 10. 2004.
