The ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival 2008 Competition

The Literaturwerkstatt Berlin and interfilm Berlin are once again calling for entries for the ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival, an biannual competition recognising the best in poetry filmmaking, now in its eighth year!

Short films based on poems can be submitted. A programme commission will decide which entries will be shown in the programme or the competition of the fourth ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival, taking place in Berlin from 9 to 12 October 2008, an international jury deciding the winners. Prizes worth a total of €10,000 will be awarded. The deadline for entries is 16 June 2008 (full entry conditions at www.literaturwerkstatt.org).

The ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival has established itself as an international forum for short films that deal with the content, aesthetics or form of poems. It gives filmmakers from around the world the opportunity to exchange ideas and develop new contacts.

The ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival is a cooperation project between the Literaturwerkstatt Berlin and interfilm berlin and is kindly supported by the Capital Cultural Fund and the Goethe-Institut. It takes place as part of the poesiefestival berlin.
