Dominican Republic Global Film Festival Short Films Competition
Launch - Call for Entries! Santo Domingo, July 7, 2009
The Dominican Republic Global Film Festival (DRGFF)
– an initiative of Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD)
and Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE)
– is launching a contest to find the best Dominican film shorts the Country
has to offer.
This groundbreaking competition, which opens July 6 and runs through
September 18, is designed to allow emerging filmmakers the opportunity to
create new work and premiere it on the big screen. The lucky award winner of
the best film short will not only get to showcase their film at the
prestigious international event, they also receive a digital camera, tripod
and light. Ten runners-up will also get the coveted opportunity to screen
their works at the Festival, which this year takes place in seven provinces
from November 18-22. All winning entries receive a certificate of
participation as well as a Diploma on behalf of DRGFF.
Submissions will be accepted in the categories of fiction, animation,
documentaries, video clip and fantasy. No foreign films will be considered
and entrants must be Dominican nationals, 18 or over. Film shorts must have
a Dominican director, and a minimum of 70% local participation. Films should
be 15 minutes max., including credits, can be color or black and white, and
in Spanish or with Spanish subtitles. Only films shot in DVCAM and MINIDV
Cam are permitted. Each entrant must submit one (1) copy of the short in DVD
format.
Winning entries will be selected by a panel of Dominican and international
experts on November 20, and notified by email.
This is a unique opportunity to make your presence felt at the Festival,
expand your networks, and showcase your art nationally and internationally
to film industry professionals.
