Winners to be showcased during 4th Annual Asian Film Festival of Dallas



The Asian Film Festival of Dallas is now accepting short film and video entries for its 4th Annual Short Film Competition, to be held on May 28-29, 2005, at the Dallas Museum of Art.

To be eligible, short productions must be made by Asian-Americans or Asian-International filmmakers, or with subject matter concerning Asian issues from any year, country, state, age, category, and serving any theme. The categories this year include narrative, documentary, experimental, and animation. All films submitted should be under 70 minutes in length.

All selected competitive entries will be screened at the museum during this weekend, with winners to be announced on the AFFD website, and showcased during the 4th Annual Asian Film Festival of Dallas in August 2005.

All entries should be on a screening tape, VHS (standard speed NTSC format only), or DVD (Region 1 only). Works in progress (no trailers) may be submitted; however, if the project is not completed and turned in by March 30, 2005, it cannot be screened for the festival.
