Our City, My Story 2010 – Call for Entries

Calling all young NYC filmmakers!

The Tribeca Film Institute is seeking work made by NYC students (middle and high school) to screen this spring for Our City, My Story—an event that celebrates the vision, excellence and diversity of NYC youth-made work.

In honor of the newly produced Blueprint for the Teaching and Learning in the Arts: The Moving Image, The Tribeca Film Institute is especially proud to invite New York City students, NYC public schools and youth media organizations to submit work to our annual celebration of excellent youth-made work. In a special effort to encourage educators to use the new Moving Image Blueprint, we encourage them to download the blueprint and let us know (with your submission) how the work references the five strands of learning.

The Fine Print:

• Region: All films must be made by youth residing within the five boroughs of New York City
• Age of youth producer(s): 19 or younger and a middle or high school student at the completion date of the film
• Length of submission: 10 minutes or less
• Submission format: DVD
• Completion date: Films must have been completed after January 1,2008.
• Previously submitted films: TFI will not consider previously submitted films.
• Multiple entries: Each organization or student may submit a maximum of three films. If multiple entries are submitted, each film should be submitted separately.
• Youth Made: To be eligible for TFI’s Youth Media screening, youth under the age of 20 must be responsible for the overwhelming majority of the work submitted (including, writing, editing direction and photography).

If you have any questions about your submissions to Tribeca Film Institute, please contact youth@tribecafilminstitute.org
