Call for entries extended for Humanities Film Festival
The Northern Marianas Humanities Council has extended the call for entries deadline for its Humanities Film Festival to May 31.
The festival’s theme is “Soudelor and the Winds of Change in the CNMI.”
Filmmakers are invited to submit entries that explore and address the ethical, philosophical and existential questions raised in the aftermath of Typhoon Soudelor.
The festival is open to individuals who are 18 years old and older and current residents of the CNMI. High school students (9th-12th grades) are also eligible to submit films. Production companies or companies that routinely produce commercial grade videos are not eligible to participate.
Films may be submitted under three categories—Narrative, Documentary, and Student. Entries in each of these categories may be a feature film (more than 30 minutes) or a film short (no more than 15 minutes).
In accordance with festival guidelines, submitters must have had a major creative role in the film’s production. Additionally, entries must be mostly moving pictures, not montages of still images and formatted in Quicktime MOV at 780p or higher resolution.
Entries must be received by the Northern Marianas Humanities Council no later than 4pm on Tuesday, May 31, 2016. Late entries or entries that do not address the festival’s theme will not be considered.
Films will be screened in June at a time, date and venue to be announced. First through third place entries in each category will receive cash prizes.
Entry forms and festival guidelines and fact sheet may be downloaded from the council website www.northernmarianashumanities.org or picked up at the Council’s office in Springs Plaza, Gualo Rai.
