Call for Entries BioFiction Filmfestival Vienna

[BioFiction Filmfestival]

+++ Call for entries +++

1st Bio:Fiction Science, Art & Filmfestival, Vienna
Deadline for film entries: 15th of July 2010

The 1st Bio:Fiction Science, Art & Filmfestival aims at attracting
public awareness to synthetic biology and its ramifications for our
daily life in the future.

Synthetic biology is the design and construction of new biological
systems not found in nature. Synthetic biology aims at creating new
forms of life for practical purposes. By applying engineering
principles to biology scientists will be able to design life forms
much different from breeding or traditional genetic engineering.

We want to encourage filmmakers to share their cinematic visions of a
present or future society shaped by synthetic biology. What is your
view on a world living with synthetic life forms? Your approach is up
to you - the filmmaker, scientists or artist - the entries can be on
science, fiction, or science fiction. We welcome regular short film,
animation or documentary film. The main criteria is that synthetic
biology has to be reflected somehow in the work, but how you do it is
up to you.

Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

Bio:Fiction Award – Short Fiction
Bio:Fiction Award – Documentary Film
Bio:Fiction Award - Animation
Online-Audience Award
Special Award of the Jury
(the prize money in each category will be announced soon)

On http://www.bio-fiction.com you will find more useful and inspiring
information on synthetic biology, the entry form and the regulations
of the filmfestival.
The nominated films will be presented in public at the festival event
in Vienna, Austria, in May 2011. Finally, a Bio:Fiction Award ceremony
will build the highlight of the festival.

The deadline for film entries is the 15th of July 2010
There is no entry fee for submitting films.
