CONTEST
Grand prix européen des premiers films, Prix de Vevey
" Dix mille euros la toile "
" Ten thousand euros a film "

PURPOSE OF THE CONTEST AND FUNDING

The Fondation Vevey, Ville d'Images, is launching the Grand prix européen des premiers films, Prix de Vevey, , a contest intended to provide funding for the production of first films made after having obtained a degree or diploma in film-making.

Using academic institutions as a springboard, the contest is aimed at film directors who graduated between 1999 and 2001.

Candidates will be asked to submit a project for a film that can be produced for the amount of the award, i.e. for _10,000 per project.

The contest is endowed with a total of _30,000 in prize money. In principle, three projects will be funded during this first event, although only one of the three winning projects will be awarded the exclusive mention "Prix de Vevey".

The films must be completed no later than 30 June 2002.

The purpose of the contest is to encourage the production of personal films, by interceding at the juncture where recently graduated film-makers must face the public for the first time as authors of independent works.

The rationale for the contest is based on four elements:

recognition of academic institutions as an essential training environment for the future of cinematography;

recognition of academic institutions as an essential training environment for the future of cinematography;

offering an opportunity which, by the imposition of limits, is intended to stimulate the creativity, inventiveness and pugnacity of film-makers;

allocating a pecuniary award which serves as the principal or even the sole source of finance for the production, rather than as a supplementary financial contribution.

Films produced in the context of this contest will have their own special programme during the Festival IMAGES '02 cinéma, which will take place from 22 September to 6 October 2002. This event, organised in conjunction with Swiss academic institutions offering training in cinema and video arts, will include a special section devoted to degree or diploma films and first films (projections, conference, meetings).

The Foundation will be associated with the promotion of films emanating from the contest by involving itself in their publishing (print or transfer), their subtitling (in French), or their distribution, depending on the case.
