For the second time since its successful debut in 2009, Intervideo Filmproduktion GmbH is announcing its Intervideo Talent Award.
Giving new young media talent a boost worked so well in its first run that Intervideo itself received a prize for the idea: the “German Culture Promotion Prize” (Deutscher Kulturförderpreis).
Students or trainees and those just starting on a media career who wish to address the competition theme in film are eligible to take part. Participants may not be older than 30 when submitting their entry.
Under the heading of “THE FUTURE AS A BRAND – Sustainability as a value and product,” this year’s competition is about the almost inflationary use of the term “sustainability.” Is the “produce, consume, recycle” blueprint a workable or illusory model for modern industrialized society? Doesn’t sustainability in the strictest sense turn our entire economic system and how we co-exist on its head?
Or does the term takes its place in the long series of communication catastrophes and cure-all mantras in the advertising industry? Is sustainability possibly only a decoy designed to trigger people to consume and actually stand in the way of sustainability? In our Web-savvy age, words decay rapidly. How sustainable will the expression sustainability be?
We are interested in films which address the topic of sustainability dispassionately, critically and/or artistically. Films which look at the issue from a wide range of perspectives investigate it or make it intelligible in emotional terms. The films themselves may somehow even be sustainable, or serve as models of sustainability.
This year, the Intervideo Talent Award will be awarded in four film categories – “Documentaries,” “Fiction/Short films,” “Animations” and “Freestyle.”
This year too, after the entry period closes, an independent jury will select the winning entries.
Cash awards amounting to a total of €2,000 are on offer to the winners, as well as various non-cash prizes. The prizes will be presented at the film festival “exground” in Wiesbaden in November.
Deadline for submission of entries is July 31, 2011. Further information and all documentation concerning the competition is available at:

We look forward to receiving your entries and films!
