<nettime-ann> [call] 2nd International Video Reporting Award Call for entries |
deutsche Version unterhalb CALL FOR ENTRIES !deadline 15th of September! 2nd International Video Reporting Award www.videoreporter.org The 2nd International Video Reporting Award is an international competition specifically geared towards innovative documentary shorts and non-fiction digital films helmed by a single autonomous author. Video Reporting is the merge of cinematography, editing, sound and directing in one single persons hand. Film and television technicians adopt these digital documentary techniques and regard the resultant new autonomous ways of production as a challenge. Not only will the jury and the preselection committee judge the idea and conception of the film but they will also place great emphasis on the way the filmmaker creatively dealt with the new digital authoring principle. Smaller cameras offer more freedom of movement and consequently often lead to new perspectives and prospects differing from what you see on television. Additionally, commercial video editing software has achieved a level of sophistication allowing for quick and playful experimentation with the footage. The end results are journalistic films which inspire new boundaries in the field of TV journalism. We seek outstanding films that experiment with this new mode of production and whose journalistic-cinematic narrative catches our attention in form and content. Furthermore the films should withstand traditional quality criteria and simultaneously broaden the boundaries of mainstream television. We are looking for documentary films and authentically narrated stories captivating us with their particular intensity, an innovative creativity and a very distinctive personal authoring style. We also place a great deal of emphasis on the filmmakers fondness for experimentation, however, keeping in mind the presented films should not exceed 15 minutes and they should have been produced by one or more Video Reporters/ Video Journalists. The 2nd International Video Reporting Award is being borne by the Bauhaus University Weimar as well as those television broadcast stations that are already working together with Video Journalists large scale ?
