International SinCity Film Award

Dear filmmakers in Europe and Africa, in North and South America, in Asia and Australia,

we are thrilled to announce the launch of the International SinCity Film Award: A competition that celebrates the imagery and ambience of Sin Cities in the 21st century.

The Roaring Twenties, "Cabaret", "The Threepenny Opera", "The Blue Angel". Walking the tightrope, decadence and vanity fair, pleasure come what may, power games and money, excessive parties. Unconditional happiness.

But what do Sin Cities and their joie de vivre look like today?

We're inviting you, filmmakers across the globe, from Abidjan to Zagreb, Berlin to Beijing, London to Lagos, New York to New Delhi, to capture the spirit of your local or favourite Sin City! Find inspiration in the zeitgeist found in the art and fashion, clubs and street-life that are currently sweeping the world's metropolises.

The idea for this international competition was born in a London music studio, when songwriter and producer Guy Chambers collaborated with the young singer SCHMIDT from Berlin. Together, they wrote the song SinCity for her debut album.

What remained was their curiosity...

How can one possibly portray the zeitgeist found in Sin Cities of the 21st century? What kind of faces, characters, images and stories define the contemporary big city life?

We want you to find the answer.

Embark on an explorative journey: take the SinCity song on an adventurous trip to your innermost fantasies and / or exceptional realities.

Send us short films or music videos. Let your creativity run wild.

A world-class panel of hit songwriters, academy award winners and nominees, film and music video directors, actors, record label and film executives will decide on the finalists and winners of the Jury Award: Rita Flügge-Timm, Florian Gallenberger, Thekla Reuten, Philipp Stölzl, Paul Verhoeven, Volker Schlöndorff, Eike Wolf, Rolf Zehetbauer and Guy Chambers himself.

The finalists will be promoted via an international social media campaign within which an online public vote will determine the winner of the Audience Award.

Prize Money

Audience Award for Best Film: €5,000

Jury Award for Best Film: €5,000

Extra Jury Awards for Outstanding Work: 4 x €1,000

Deadline for submissions: 7 October 2011

Online public vote on the finalists: 10 October to 14 November 2011

Bändid purki: lood valitud

Bändid purki mees- ja naiskonnal on ülimalt hea meel teatada, et tuliste vaidluste järel valisime konkursilt välja bändi Pagueroundi loo "Molly Keg".

Publik valis eelnevalt välja loo Minu Akvaariumilt.

Täname kõiki bände, kes konkursil osalesid ja tuult teile tiibadesse! Samuti täname kõiki, kes võtsid vaevaks oma lemmiklugude või siis sõprade poolt hääletada. Loodetavasti avastasite enda jaoks ka mõne uue hea bändi:)

Kõik, kes tahavad muusikavideos kaasa lüüa: õige aeg ühendust võtta on NÜÜD!

Bändid purki - noortebändide muusikavideote projekti tutvustus 24. veebruaril

KinoOnud alustavad uue projektiga, mille käigus teeme noortebändidele muusikavideosid. See projekt on suunatud:
a) noortebändidele ja nende lugudele
b) noortele, kes soovivad teha videosid

Bändide konkurss algab juba 1. märtsil, filmimiseks läheb mais-juunis.

Ootame kampa inimesi, kes tahaksid aidata seda projekti ellu viia. Selleks küsi endalt, kas oled huvitatud vähemalt ühest asjast järgnevas nimekirjas:

film, muusika, looming, projektijuhtimine, kunst, IT (arvutid), heli, varia (kirjuta, mis ________)!

Kui vastasid kordki jah, siis tule infopäevale / avatud koosolekule

24. veebruaril, neljapäeval kell 13.00
Tartus Anne noortekeskuse multimeedialaboris (Uus 56, A või B uks, teisele
korrale).

Plaanis on:
1. Projekti tutvustus
2. Koosolek teemal, mis on järgmised etapid ja kuidas Sina saad kaasa aidata (konkursist kuni reaalselt videote valmimiseni)?

Kuna on siiski pidupäev, siis ei jää kohaletulekuvaev tasumata – pakutakse vana head
kartulisalatit ja humoorikat seltskonda.
Ära häbene sõpra kaasa võtta, sest muidu ta tunneb end üksikuna.

Projekti toetavad Tartu Kultuurkapital, Swedbanki "Tähed särama" ja Anne noortekeskus.

Valminud videoid plaanime levitada järgmiste kanalite kaudu: MySpace, ETV Top 7, YouTube, Noorte TV ... Projekti mõte tekkis "Tudengimuusikali" tegemsie käigus ja kantud soovist, et veelgi rohkem noori saaks oma ideedega videotegemises osaleda!

Oma tulekust ja huvist projekti vastu anna märku Marile: mtarendi ät gmail
