The 9th backup_festival will take place from 18. – 21. October 2007 in Weimar, Germany.

This year, once again, we are looking for young film makers and media creatives interested in submitting work for the international category of the backup.clipaward and who would like the chance to win an award from the 3750 Euros worth of prizes we have on offer.

By awarding the backup.clipaward, the backup_festival offers an overview of current developments within the field of international music video culture and provides a public forum for experimental music video screenings. Particular emphasis is put on music videos which create an extraordinary symbiosis of film and music by using different forms of visual communication and production techniques. It’s imperative to make image audible and sounds visible.

The pre-selection committee and the jury will judge ideas, concepts and the interaction of image and sound as well as the artistic exploration of the possibilities of music video.

To qualify for entry into the competition, all works must be submitted in a common video format, must have been completed after the 1st of January 2006 and must be no longer than 7 min. in length.

The deadline for entries is the 25th of August 2007!
