“InDigi60: Indigenous Youth Film Contest
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Filmmaker? Youth? Indigenous? Between the ages 15-30? Do you want to screen your film at the 2016 Asinabka Festival?

The Asinabka Film & Media Arts Festival & the Digi60 Ottawa Filmmakers Festival are partnering to offer the InDigi60: Indigenous Youth Film Contest. This is a contest for Indigenous youth (First Nation, Métis, Inuit), to create a film under 5 minutes in length, on the “Catch” or “Theme” of: A Sense of Place.

This can be interpreted in different ways (for example: in a town, on a lake, in a house, on a soccer field, in a graveyard, on a boat, etc.). Why is this place important? In what ways does your film show or demonstrate a sense of place?

Twelve winning films will be selected to screen during the Asinabka Festival (Ottawa, August 10-14, 2016), and 1 film will be selected by the Audience to screen at the Digi60 Festival in December 2016. Indigenous Youth in rural or urban areas, first time filmmakers, or those with only access to using Smartphone’s or non-professional equipment are all encouraged to apply.

Criteria
– 1 video submission per applicant.
– Maximum video length: 5 minutes (Including credits).
– All genres of film will be accepted (dramas, comedies, animation, documentaries).

SUBMISSION DEADLINE – JUNE 15, 2016
