ARTS | Filmmakers can submit projects to ‘Local View Power’ contest

In another edition of “Local View Power” (LVP), the Macau Cultural Centre (CCM) is challenging Macau directors to submit their latest cinematic proposals. In this edition, LVP will commission up to MOP 270,000 to individual candidates. Its format welcomes candidates spread across three experience tiers: “Advanced” and “Open” levels, aimed at directors aged 18 or above, and the “Freshman” level, open to all enthusiastic filmmaker wannabes. The project is divided into the categories “Documentary,” “Short Feature” and “Animation”.
The project was first initiated in 2007 to stimulate and nurture creative works by both emerging and established filmmakers.
According to a press release issued by CCM, the previous seven editions were “enthusiastically received with participants submitting over 320 proposals, a dynamic flow that has resulted in more than 75 finalized works, some of them awarded overseas, confirming LVP’s useful and productive path.”
Selected teams will be given financial and technical support to complete their productions and all works will be premiered at the “Macau International Film and Video Festival 2016”.
