Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival 2011
"Suffering and rebirth"
Calling All Filmmakers!
Festival dates: October 7-11, 2011
Entry submission deadline: May 31, 2011
TIEFF is organized by the Taiwan Association of Visual Ethnography, a non-profit organization dedicated to greater public awareness of documentary and ethnographic films, and co-organized by the Institute of Ethnology at Academia Sinica, Taiwan. TIEFF is more than just a venue for screening films and videos; it is also a forum for education, discussion, and exchange. TIEFF considers every film selected to be equally valuable; therefore, there is no competition section in the event.
The theme of TIEFF’s 6th biennial is "Suffering and Rebirth.” In creating this theme, the festival seeks stories from around the world exploring the conditions of human suffering, as well as the healing practices which allow for people and cultures to heal and be reborn. Possible topics for candidate films might include, but are not limited to: environmental issues and recovery practices, mental/emotional/physical suffering and healing, the social chaos of war and violence and the restoration of peace.
We’re looking to screen films in the following categories:
A) Central Theme:
Ethnographic films, produced at any time, relating to the theme of “Suffering and Rebirth” as defined above.
B) New Vision:
Ethnographic films on any subject, completed within the last two years: 2009-2011.
Please send us entries now, or recommend films you feel should be in the festival.
