Summary of Key Points
Genre: Any genre is fine, as long as it fits the purpose of the competition
Type of Films: Cross-cultural can mean different things to different people. To one person, it may mean the relationship between people of different nationalities or races. To another, it could refer to people with differing cultural ideologies or viewpoints. The definition is kept broad so as not to limit the filmmaker too much; filmmakers are encouraged to submit films representing their own unique creativity and vision. It is not necessary that China or Asian culture be depicted in the film.
The Rules: The entries must be 30 minutes or less in length and can be submitted on DVD or VHS in NTSC format. All submissions must have been completed in 2004 or 2005 and must be in English or have English subtitles.
