THE CONTEST:
Create a short documentary (2-5 minutes) in one week. First place winners will receive a $300 prize.
FILMMAKERS:
You will be paired with a local urbanist who is an expert on a key aspect of Los Angeles' development. You will work with them to create a 2-5 minute documentary about their project. Films must be uploaded by Saturday October 10th at 11pm.
URBANISTS:
You will present a 2-5 minute slide show about a project you are working on, recently completed, or an area of development in which you could provide expertise and insight. You will present to an audience of filmmakers eager to tell the story of your project with more cinematic flare. By preparing the presentation, you will have already done most of the leg work of gathering historical images and documents, as well as renderings and concept art.
THE FILMS:
The top ten films will be screened Sunday October 11th at 8pm and awards will be given out immediately following the screening. All films that are made as part of this contest will be hosted on the New Urbanism Film Festival website and/or youtube channel. The New Urbanism Film Festival will also retain rights to screen the films at future NUFF events. The filmmakers are welcome to host and screen their films at other venues and festivals. NUFF does not hold exclusive rights.
