1968 film project deadline fast approaching

The deadline for the Minnesota Historical Society's film competition, The 1968 Project, is this Friday.  I'm sure most of you movie makers out there already have your videos ready, but if not- hurry up!  The movies submitted will be screened on Sept 25.  Where, exactly, I'm not sure.  I can't seem to find that info on the site.  Maybe at the society itself, I don't know.  Watch last year's winners in anticipation for this year's festival.

lazlo supreme "feather lighter"

Came across this music video for Minneapolis hip hop ensemble Lazlo Supreme the other day (yesterday, to be more specific).  It's directed by local videomaker and vfx artist Adam Dunn.  It's words and visuals, together again.

filmanthropist 2010 is looking for submissions

The Filmanthropist Project, a film festival screening local short videos about those who make a positive difference in their community, is looking for submissions.  The videos can be about individuals, a group of people, a company or just about any entity you believe is helping people out.  There are cash prizes, so get your video in before the December 1st deadline.  The top 10 videos will screened on a date yet to be determined.

one week to submit to TCFF's Music in Motion

The inaugural Twin Cities Film Fest is hosting a special program dedicated to music-related shorts by local film/videomakers called "Music in Motion".  If you're a local video producer and would like to submit your work, you can still do so.  The deadline is next Friday, August 27th, so go to the website for details and submit soon.  For non-producers but general fans of visual and musical collaboration, you can check out the program at the Fine Line on September 30th.  The festival itself is from Sept 28th through Oct 2nd.  Details on that will come later.
