Multilingual film Contest
Nisi Masa, the European network of young cinema, is organising an online video contest about multilingualism. Filmmakers are asked to submit their short to win a place aboard Polyglot – on the way to Turku, an itinerant filmmaking event traveling across the archipelago of Turku, Finland.
They are looking for film submissions in two categories, Video Portraits (Documentaries on My multilingualism) and Video Poems (Fictions on The language I dream in), both must visually express original and creative ideas about language.
18 winners will be selected to attend an all-expenses-paid, 2-week ‘Cine-Boat’ itinerant filmmaking workshop in June 2011 in Turku and the Åland Islands in Finland. The filmmakers will then present their work during a Polyglot film festival, as the city of Turku celebrates its status as European Capital of Culture.
Contestants must be resident in a European country (EU or non-EU) and aged 18–35. Works of maximum 5 minutes length, produced since 1st January 2008 are eligible.
The submission deadline is 15th December 2010. For more information visit www.turku2011.fi
