Online-hääletus konkursil VELOBerlin Film Award 2014

VELOBerlin Film Award 2014 online-voting kicked off! - Enjoy 18 bicycle shorts!

See the films / the competition here: www.veloberlinfilmaward.com

We started cycling fun: 18 films made it into the final round, to compete for 5 prizes worth €2500 in total: Narrative shorts, documentaries, clips and animated films about the love of cycling and bicycles.

Till 29 March 2014, all selected films can be watched and voted for online at www.veloberlinfilmaward.com : You are the jury - the worldwide online audience!

Velokonzept and interfilm Berlin announced the second edition of the international online award for bicycle films - the VELOBerlin Film Award - in autumn 2013. More than 200 short films from 45 countries and all continents were entered - an overwhelming response!

Due to the astounding success of the first edition in 2013, the organisers have made the VELOBerlin Film Award 2014 even more accessible. Bicycle-film-fans are now able to experience the entire film selection via computer, smart phone and tablet as well as "offline" and "live" at three bicycle trade fairs: f.re.e München (19-23.2.2014), rad+outdoor Bremen (8-9.3.2014) and VELOBerlin (29-30.3.2014). The winners of the online vote will be announced on 30 March 2014 at VELOBerlin.

See bike couriers in Dublin risk their lives whilst weaving through daily traffic, or remarkable aesthetes who find spiritual fulfilment when creating custom bikes - these people clearly adore their bicycles. Almost as much as the "Pedalophile"and his Power Ranger's bike or the little girl in Indonesia who selflessly gives away her most treasured possession. Indeed, love can be tragic too - especially when an object of desire has suddenly vanished. But there are happy endings too, especially when bikes fall in love with one another...

The directors of the five winning films will be rewarded with valuable prizes from Riese & Müller, Ortlieb and Abus worth €2500 in total.

The competition is organised by velo:konzept and interfilm Berlin. VELOBerlin Film Award's exclusive partner is Europe's leading bicycle tyre manufacturer Schwalbe (Ralf Bohle GmbH).

Award Ceremony at the VELOBerlin fair: March 30 2014, Filmbühne

Fenno-Ugric Film Festival

Meil on hea meel teatada, et esimene soome-ugri filmifestival toimub Eestis Tsiistres 4.–8. juunil 2014!

FUFF on lühifilmide festival, mille eesmärk on tekitada huvi soome-ugri mängu- ja eksperimentaalfilmide vastu, mille autorid on soome-ugri filmitegijad või mis käsitlevad soome-ugri teemasid. Festivalile on teretulnud filmid kogu maailmast. Eriti julgustame oma töid esitama sõltumatuid filmitegijaid, kes ei tee põhivoolu kommertsfilme. Samuti ootame tudengifilme.

Kutsume festivalile filmide autoreid, et tutvustada nende filme ja vestelda nende töödest pärast linastust. Piisava finantseerimise korral võib festival osaliselt katta nende reisi- ja/või majutuskulud.

Üritus on avatud kõigile, sealhulgas loovatele, uudishimulikele ja asjatundlikele filmitegijatele, õppejõududele, tudengitele ja kõigile teistele.

Festivalinädalal linastub ligikaudu 50 filmi. Lisaks filmiprogrammile toimuvad festivali raames ümarlauad, õpikojad, kontserdid ja näitused.


Festivalil on ainult üks võistlusprogramm – väikerahvaste filmid, kuhu me valime soome-ugri, välja arvatud Eesti, Soome ja Ungari filmitegijate filmid.


Suurte rahvaste festivaliprogramm pannakse kokku koostöös meie partnerite FFI, EFI ja HFI-ga.

KUTSE FESTIVALI TÖÖTUPPA

Festival kuulutab välja stsenaariumide kirjutamise töötoa, mis toimub festivali ajal Tsiistres 4.–8. juunil 2014.

Kutsume töötuppa 12 väikerahvaste (komid, udmurdid, handid, mansid, neenetsid, eenetsid, marid, merjalased, mokšad, mordvalased, vadjalased, liivlased, ersad, setud, vepslased jne) filmitegijat ning tasume nende festivaliaegsed majutus-, reisi- ja toitlustamiskulud. 


Samuti kutsume festivalile eesti, soome ja ungari filmitegijaid ning tagame neile festivali ajal toidu ja majutuse.


Töötoa viivad läbi kaks filmiprofessionaali, stsenarist ja režissöör, kes aitavad teil festivali ajal arendada oma sünopsisest lühifilmi stsenaariumi. Me ootame lühimängu- või eksperimentaalfilmi sünopsiseid ühel A4 lehel 15. veebruariks meiliaadressil sara.kisari@gmail.com.


Valik tehakse veebruari lõpuks. Festivali töökeel on inglise keel, kuid aktsepteerime venekeelseid sünopsiseid Venemaa territooriumilt. Me julgustame oma töid esitama ka tudengeid ja mitteprofessionaale; samuti neid, kelle inglise keel ei ole väga hea, sest töötoa ajal on meil olemas tõlgid.

KUTSUME 1. SOOME-UGRI FILMIFESTIVALILE VABATAHTLIKKE

Festival tagab vabatahtlikele kogu festivali ajaks toitlustamise, majutuse ja festivali passi ning tasub osaliselt nende reisikulud.
