PRINCETON PUBLIC LIBRARY ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS FOR STUDENT FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL

Original films by young adults sought for 7th annual festival, July 21 and 22, 2010

Princeton Public Library is accepting original film submissions for the July 21 and 22, 2010 Princeton Student Film & Video Festival, now in its 7th year. The student filmmakers will be invited to introduce and talk about their work during the popular two-day festival, which is intended for teen and adult audiences.

Films are sought from students age 14-24, and the films should have a running time of 20 minutes or less.

Students are encouraged to submit films in a wide range of genres and styles. In previous years, the films included documentaries, comedies, dramas and animated and experimental works. This year some of the films selected may also be screened at the Artist Visions Film Festival, a new, first-year festival in nearby Lambertville, New Jersey.

The films must be on a clearly labeled DVD, accompanied by a completed entry form. While students are allowed to enter more than one project, each entry must have its own form and appear on a separate DVD.

The deadline for receiving submissions is June 21, 2010.

Guidelines and entry forms are available at www.princetonlibrary.org/teens/media/index.html, with a call for entries flyer that can be downloaded for posting, as well as the schedule of films from past years and related articles and resources.
