Video Contests, Film Festivals, and Awards

Got an idea for a bold, distinctive documentary? With a budget of $1 million, Reel Diversity will offer five emerging directors from visible minority groups the chance to direct their own English-language, 40-minute National Film Board of Canada (NFB) documentary, to be broadcast nationally on CBC Newsworld. Reel Diversity winners will be announced June 14, 2004, at the Banff Television Festival. One winner will be selected from each of Canada's five regions. Winners will work on a contract basis at the NFB, with supportive, experienced colleagues and mentors. The maximum budget per project is $200,000, including all costs from research to delivery of completed production. Contact: NFB studio in your region;
