When one is an artist and most mainly in the field of film and video, it can be difficult to get to know. The projections for amateur films are still very rare and thereby limit the projection of cinematographic productions. Yet, I speak to regularly, there are contests and festivals which are destined exclusively to amateurs or beginners and to those who wish to share their work and to see it broadcast to the general public.
The festival Food Right Now
For young people, students and high school students lovers of cinema and video-making competition, and the Food Right Now may be an excellent opportunity to make known and to make a movie to fight hunger in the world.
The video produced will raise awareness of her surroundings and the social networks on the problem of hunger in the world. The produced video should last less than 5 minutes and it can take the form of an advertisement, a short documentary, a fiction or even a clip. It can deal with many topics such as poverty, drinking water or even waste.
Three prizes will be awarded at the end of the contest and the videos will be posted on the official website of the contest throughout the operation. The first prize in the category of 15/18 years old will receive a participation in the One World Festival in Prague just as the price for coup de cœur of the jury. The price 18/30 years will go do a report on the fight against hunger in a country in the South.
