Green film makers get 48 hours in contest

International eco film competition, 48 Go Green, is calling for registration in Vietnam. The competition is an avant-garde festival that gives film-makers the opportunity to express themselves and speak up against the ecological destruction taking place on the planet.

The competition will kick off online at 7 pm local time, February 18.  Entrants will then have 48 hours to make a narrative short film, including writing, shooting, and editing, to submit before 7.30 pm local time, February 20.

At the start each team will be assigned a random theme about the environment, potable water, forests, wildlife, the earth, the next generation, energy, the sea or the planet. The organizer will nominate a character, prop and a line which must appear in the film.

The winner will go to Cannes International Film Festival, accompanied by a US$5,000 cash prize. The 16 top films of 48 Go Green could be selected to screen at the NAB Show in Las Vegas from April 9-14, 2011.

48 Hour Film Project launched its first competition in Vietnam last October and November.

Panasonic awards film-makers at Hanoi schools

A team from Phan Chau Trinh Secondary School have won the Kid Witness News program organized by Panasonic Vietnam for young film-makers in Hanoi.

The film named “Vong tron” (Circle) won the best film last week, earning the team members flight ticket prizes to Singapore for the regional contest, while other top prizes went to teams of Giang Vo Secondary School, M. V Lomonoxop school and Ly Thuong Kiet Secondary School among others.

Using the theme of recycling a waste milk container into a useful item, the winning entry called for people to be more aware about the protection of natural resources and the environment.

Shinichi Wakita, general director of Panasonic Vietnam, said, “The award aims to create an exciting extracurricular activity for pupils to develop their talents and creativity by producing video clips using Panasonic’s modern equipment.”

The winning team’s entry will represent Vietnam first at the regional then at the global contest organized by Panasonic. The winners of the global contest will be named in July in Japan. Six leading teams will be granted six-day trips to Japan.

The Kid Witness News program has been run in Vietnam since 2006. So far 12 teams from secondary schools in Hanoi have taken part in the program.
