EVENTS / CALL FOR ENTRIES: Cinemakids

Cinemakids is seeking films, videos, and computer animations created by
young people 18 years old and under for its annual screening program.

The deadline for submissions has been extended to 15 July 2009.

For the vast majority of the twentieth century, young people were
marginalized from filmmaking practices because of the expense, weight,
and technical knowledge related to the equipment used. Today film
cameras fit in the palm of your hand, personal computers come with
editing software, and more kids are making movies than at any other
point in history.

Cinemakids was introduced in 2000 to honor young filmmakers who create
visual art, as well as to motivate other youth to become culturally
active through media production. Now in its tenth year, Cinemakids is a
two-day weekend program that includes screenings of youth-made films, as
well as workshops for young people in basic film production techniques.

This year's screenings will be held at UT-Austin in CMB Studio 4D on
Saturday, September 19, and Sunday, September 20.

The screenings are free and open to the public; however, priority
seating will be given to students in our workshops and their families.
