GREEN TEEN SPIRIT 2010
Sinaia. January 2009. Green Planet Blues. The first environmental film event in South-Eastern Europe. Top documentaries, high profile debates, photography exhibitions and a film contest for teenagers – GREEN TEEN SPIRIT. Alongside world-renowned experts, who were filled with enthusiasm at the thought that such an idea is also possible in Romania, five high-school students proved that they cared just as much. Only one of the students was to be awarded with the great prize – 1000 Euro. Choosing from the cinematic stories brought to life by them – displaying problems and proposing personal solutions, was a difficult task for the jury, a committee of film and environmental national specialists.
Green Planet Blues is back in 2010, for its second edition and along with it, Aristoteles Workshop Association (AWA) brings back the Green Teen Spirit contest. Once again, we encourage teenagers to revive their environment, through film. Highschool students from all over Romania are invited to record and edit a short video of 1 to 3 minutes, approaching one environmental issue that worries them and proposing solutions for it.
Anyone between 12 and 18 years old, who is interested in ecology and has the opportunity to work with video recording and editing equipments, may become the Green Teen Spirit 2010 eco-director.
The deadline for receiving your applications is 15 January 2010. Each applicant must:
1. Make an account on youtube or vimeo, or any other video posting website.
2. Upload the short video on their account and write down the link to the webpage containing that video on our webform.
3. Fill in our webform, with all the data required. The webform is available here, until 15 January 2010.
Once the submission period is over, a jury of environmental and film experts from Romania will select five finalists who will be invited to participate at Green Planet Blues in Sinaia. Their short videos will benefit from public screenings, among the latest environmental documentaries, like the award winning films of International Festival of Environmental Films, Ile de France, Paris.
The finalists of Green Teen Spirit 2010 will be highly awarded, with the support of our sponsors and partners: AVIS puts 1000 Euroon the line for the best short video, and EuroRealitatea – Catavencu offers one internship at their editorial offices, for one-week.
