The Shadow Festival 2003

The Shadow Festival is looking for documentaries! From 20 till 26 November the Shadow Festival will see his fourth edition in the Melkweg Cinema in Amsterdam, Holland. Additional screenings will be held in Eindhoven and Groningen during the festival period.

The Shadow Festival offers documentary-makers from all over the world the chance to show their work in a personal framework, where the contact and discussion between filmmaker and audience is highly cherished. The Shadow festival is a forum that focuses on where the magic of the documentary lies in. There will be lectures and workshops that examine closely special features of the genre.

The Shadow Festival emphasises creativity and originality within the documentary . There aren’t any restrictions with regard to the length of the film or to the content. If selected, a film may be projected on film or video; if on video, a Beta or Beta SP copy is necessary. Films not in English must have subtitles in English. Although the festival prefers recently produced work, in some cases older work may be submitted. There's also the opportunity to submit work in progress in the form of a rough cut which the filmmaker will discuss extensively with the festival public.

Filmmakers whose work has been selected will be invited to the festival and have their travel, hotel and other expenses paid by the Shadow Festival.

Deadline for entries is the 1st of September, films should be send on VHS-format to the following address:
