Short film contest open to foreigners

Contest calls for short films

An annual Ministry of Foreign Affairs-funded short film competition is calling on people locally and internationally to submit films that feature human interest stories and beautiful scenery, with the aim of promoting Taiwan’s beauty to the world. Now in its third year, the “Trending Taiwan” contest is seeking three-minute short films, the ministry said in a statement. The films should present a human interest story set in Taiwan and should feature the nation’s beauty, it said, adding that the contest is open to people of all nationalities and ages. Submissions close on Oct. 16. The entries that pass preliminary screenings will advance to the final round, followed by an award ceremony on Nov. 8 where the winner is to receive NT$200,000. To encourage more foreigners to participate, the ministry has set up a special international participation category this year, the winner of which will be awarded NT$200,000. The ministry said it hopes that the creative films can show the nation’s diverse and energetic culture to the world.

You can use animation, as long as it complies with technical aspects (1020 x something else whatever) and includes images of Taiwan (say Taipei 101).
