KODAK Film School Cinematography Competition
The focus of this competition is on film cinematography and the innovative use of available resources to create images which complement the story.
The KODAK Film School Cinematography Competition will be conducted in various participating countries and film schools. There are two different categories to enter your film into — the S8/S16 National Competitions and the 35mm Worldwide Competition.
The winning S8/S16 film from each National Competition will then be judged at a Regional level. Three Regional winners will be selected. The 35mm films will bejudged at a Worldwide level only. There will be one winning 35mm film.
The three winners of the Regional Competitions, and the Worldwide 35mm winner will be awarded a trip to Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in early 2012. The prize includes a single round trip economy ticket to Clermont-Ferrand and accommodation.
