The 9th Annual Backup_festival will take place
from 18. ñ 21. October 2007 in Weimar, Germany.
-------
backup.award - short films
-------
This year, once again, we are looking for young
film makers and media creatives interested in
submitting
work for the international category of the
backup.award and who would like the chance to win
an award
from the 3750 Euros worth of prizes we have on offer.
Backup is interested in film works that reflect
and re-define the limits of short film and video
and which
explore creatively different methods and styles
of production. In particular this year the
festival is focused
on the hybridisation of visual communication
methods and on works which seek to break down
traditional
practices of narrative structure, production and distribution.
In acknowledgement that many works submitted will
cross-over numerous traditional category
guide-lines
in their content, The Backup_Festival
pre-selection committee will sort entries
according to their content
and form. Works will then be put into competition
blocks that reflect their character. This frees
film makers
from needing to adhear to strict self-categorization of their creative output.
Prizes for the best entries will be awarded by an
independent jury of filmmakers, TV executives,
producers,
designers and media theorists.
The call for entries will be announced at
international academies of film and art,
universities, polytechnics,
Film and Media Agencies, Film Clubs and centres
of learning and culture via www.backup-festival.de
To qualify for entry into the competition, all
works must be submitted in a common video format,
must have
been completed after the 1st of January 2006 and
must be no longer than 15 min. in length.
The deadline for entries is the 25th of August 2007
All entries must be submitted by the 25th of
August 2007 and must include a DVD of the work/s,
film stills, a
dialogue list, a synopsis, a filmography and a biography of the film maker.

submitting
work for the international category of the

win an
award from the 3750 Euros worth of prizes we have on offer.
By awarding the backup.clipaward, the
backup_festival offers an overview of current
developments within
the field of international music video culture
and provides a public forum for experimental
music video screenings.
Particular emphasis is put on music videos which
create an extraordinary symbiosis of film and
music by
using different forms of visual communication and production techniques.
Itís imperative to make image audible and sounds visible.
The pre-selection committee and the jury will
judge ideas, concepts and the interaction of
image and sound as
well as the artistic exploration of the possibilities of music video.
