This Sci- Fi, comedy has an interesting plot, great chacters, and will leave you in stitches.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx1l19lk_II" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx1l19lk_II</a></p> <p>&lt;iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qx1l19lk_II" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/call-for-entries-money-prize-4500-euro#post-68422 Sun, 05 Jun 2011 17:06:12 +0000 composite1 68422@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Herr Chesser,</p> <p>Yeah, contest adverts are often a PIA because there's soooo much room for scams and chicanery to envelope eager filmmakers. Legitimate film festivals have enough of a scam element to them as is, but when you start getting stuff from overseas the likelyhood of it being a rip-off reaches near certainty. </p> <p>In this case, I checked it out and though there is no upfront entry fee two things set off my 'Scam Sense'. One, it's an overseas based contest in Africa and they're paying the potential prize in Euros (without an entry fee?) Second, you can't just pull up the rules which is supposed to be on a downloadable pdf without entering into the contest. Whether it's just a bad set up on their website, or the business end of a cyberscam, it's not worth messing with. Not to mention they say nothing about whether they'll sponsor a trip for festival winners to attend the award ceremony. Any film fest worth their salt will do that for at least one international winner</p> <p>So as I said, "Filmmaker Beware". And I agree, that VM needs to setup some solid guidelines for these contests.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/call-for-entries-money-prize-4500-euro#post-68361 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 19:45:33 +0000 EarlC 68361@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>This area of moderating give me a headache, Mr. Porter. I wish there were a better way to research and define the entities or groups involved, the veracity of their promotion and the legality of their claims. But I am at a loss. I've canned a few that simply did not seem to pan out when checking the links, etc. Others, I simply cannot feel positive about them, but don't want to discourage Videomaker Forum participants from potentially positive contest experiences.</p> <p>Your warnings are always good for readers to heed ... It's just too difficult to assess the validity of these various contest calls. Wish Videomaker could/would make it a primary concern and seriously follow up or establish some SOLID guidelines for anyone posting film or video contests.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/call-for-entries-money-prize-4500-euro#post-68358 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 19:15:00 +0000 composite1 68358@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Filmmaker beware....</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/call-for-entries-money-prize-4500-euro#post-68295 Mon, 30 May 2011 01:31:40 +0000 fpdc2 68295@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You can now<br />ENTER THE COMPETITION</p> <p>VIII  PONTINO SHORT FILM FESTIVAL 2012<br />MONEY PRIZE EURO 4.500 - FREE: NO FEES</p> <p>FICTION, ANIMATIONS, SHORT DOCUMENTARIES e SOCIAL ADVERTISING...</p> <p>  FREE THEME  or concerning AFRICA TOPICS<br />or concerning ENVIRONMENT-HUMAN BEING-ANIMALS </p> <p>9 PRIZES:<br />Best Italian Film, International Prize , Best Female Director ,<br />Public Award , Prize Corto Press (best script),<br />Low Budget, Lazio Youth, Best Pontino Short Film, Prize Short Africa</p> <p><a href="http://www.fpdc.it/wjs/index.php?lang=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.fpdc.it/wjs/index.php?lang=en</a></p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/toronto-after-dark-oct17-24-8-nights-of-horror-sci-fi-action-038-cult-cinema#post-40614 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:10:17 +0000 torontoafterdark 40614@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Attention Cinemaniacs!
