Deadline extended for 3rd ZEBRA Poetry Film Award!


Dear friends of Poetry Film,

the deadline for sending entries to the 3rd ZEBRA Poetry Film Award 
has been extended up to and including 16 July 2006!

 From right around the world came requests to extend the deadline for 
sending entries to the 3rd ZEBRA Poetry Film Award. For this reason, 
the end of the registration period has been moved back to 16 July 2006.

A programme commission made up of international members will nominate 
the films to take part in the competition. From 11 to 14 October 
2006, the films will be presented to the public in the ZEBRA Film 
Festival. An international jury will decide the winner of the 3rd 
ZEBRA Poetry Film Award between 11 and 14 October 2006, awarding 
prizes amounting to a total of 10,000 Euros. A registration form and 
conditions of entry are at: <http://www.zebra-award.org/>www.zebra-award.org

The ZEBRA Poetry Film Award has established itself as the largest 
forum for international poetry film, and offers filmmakers from all 
over the world the chance to exchange ideas and fix positions. The 
ZEBRA Poetry Film Award offers a platform for a dynamic short film 
genre, which has developed into an independent art form located 
between literature, film and new media. Various special programmes, 
an international colloquium and a comprehensive retrospective will 
complete the 3rd ZEBRA Poetry Film Award.

The ZEBRA Poetry Film Award is a project of the Literaturwerkstatt 
Berlin together with interfilm berlin and will be taking place with 
the kind assistance of the Kulturstiftung des Bundes and the Goethe Institute.
