ZEBRA
1st WORLD-WIDE POETRY FILM AWARD AND FESTIVAL, July 2-5, 2002
http://www.zebra-award.com
Organised
by the literaturWERKstatt Berlin in co-operation with interfilm Berlin Sponsored by the German Staatsminister für Kultur und Medien
(Hauptstadtkulturfonds).
This is the first time that the ZEBRA POETRY
FILM AWARD will be awarded
as part of the renowned international
literature festival, the "Berliner Sommerfest der Literaturen".
The
first world-wide poetry film award creates a platform which is intended to
enable comparison and exchange between productions both now and in
the future.
The ZEBRA Award will be presented annually.
An
international jury of film producers and directors, as well as
representatives from the fields of television, video art and poetry will
award at least three cash prizes. An audience prize and prizes in kind
are also planned. A viewing commission will make a preliminary selection
for the
final competition. Participants in the final competition will be
informed by June 1, 2002 and can claim expenses for travel to the
event.
All films and videos in all formats with a maximum length of 10
minutes can be entered - so long as they concentrate on one or more poem.
Since the first invitation for applicants will also be used to provide an
initial overview of already completed productions, the year when such
productions were
completed is irrelevant for the competition. Thus, the
invitation for applicants is
addressed to ALL previously completed poetry
film projects.
For this reason, all productions entered will be shown in
public at the festival on July 2-5, 2002.
Furthermore, an
international colloquium will concentrate on the aesthetic tension
between "verbalimagery" and "the language of images".
The application
deadline is April 30, 2002.
