NFB Hosts Web Animation Competition

IN VIVO: A WINDOW ON DIVERSITYAichi, JapanMarch 4, 2005Deadline: March 4, 2005

The National Film Board of Canada invites filmmakers between the ages of 16 and 30 from throughout Canada to showcase their talent and creativity in the Web animation competition IN VIVO: A WINDOW ON DIVERSITY. Five finalists will benefit from the NFB's unique animation expertise to complete their short films, which will then be shown at the Canada Pavilion at Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan. The grand winner will receive a week for two at Expo 2005. The competition is an initiative of the National Film Board of Canada with the support of Canadian Heritage.

Participants have until March 4, 2005 to submit to the NFB a 30-60 second animated short, without sound, on the theme Wisdom of Diversity (geographic, cultural or in relation to ecosystems). Five finalists, selected by a jury consisting primarily of professional animators, will come to the NFB in Montreal to work with a sound designer to create the soundtrack for their respective films. These five films will then be shown on the NFB and Culture.ca Websites and on kiosks at the Canada Pavilion at Expo 2005, and the public will be invited to vote for their favorite. The winning film will be determined by this public vote and by the jury. For competition details, go to www.nfb.ca/aichi.
