MCA: International Prize for Mediterranean Documentary & Reportage. Deadline for submissions: June 3rd 2007
The “Centre Méditerranéen de la Communication Audiovisuelle” is launching its 12th International Prize for Mediterranean Documentary & Reportage. In order to be eligible for entry, documentaries need to have been produced after January 1st 2005, while reportage and magazine style programmes must have been produced after January 1st 2006. Inaugurated in 1994, the Prize contributes to providing improved visibility to works dealing with society, history, heritage, art and culture from the Mediterranean basin area and to facilitating their distribution on both shores of the Mediterranean. Organised in partnership with RAI, the Italian state television network, the Prize is conducted in two stages: adjudication of the works in Marseilles and the final stage, including screenings and the awards ceremony, taking place in Italy. The CMCA receives almost 300 works each year competing for prizes in different categories: Mediterranean Challenges (6,000 euro), Mediterranean Memories (5,000 euro), Mediterranean Art, Heritage and Culture (5,000 euro) and Debut Work (5,000 euro). In 2007, two new categories have been added: the “Faro d’Oro” and a “Special Jury Prize”. The Prize is open to all TV networks (public or private), production houses (public, private or community-based), writers, directors, journalists and film and documentary-makers who, through their works or programmes, contribute to a better understanding of Mediterranean history, culture and traditions. To participate, applicants must send in a DVD of the work in two of the three official languages (English, French or Italian) together with a summary of the presented work (10 lines maximum) and a biography of the author (10 lines maximum). The deadline for submitting films for the prize is 3 June 2007.
