Invite you to participate in the FIRST ANNUAL Film Festival Trailer Contest

*Enjoy 1.5 minutes of fame*

SJFF is now accepting submissions of film festival trailers from young filmmakers in the Seattle area.  Imagine your creative work projected on the largest screen in the city and to thousands of film festival attendees!

If you are a budding filmmaker or just want to have fun with a video camera, you now have the opportunity to work those creative juices and produce a trailer that could be shown during this year's film festival at the Cinerama Theatre April 20--28, 2002.

Key elements of the trailer may include at least one of the following:

*Pluralism as a defense against bigotry and anti-Semitism
*Jewish life in America/Seattle
*Cultural and Political ties between American Jews and Israelis

General Guidelines

*Trailers will be projected in film (16 or 35 mm) or on Beta SP format and should be no more than 1.5 minutes in length.
*All submissions will be previewed and filmmakers of all levels are encouraged to apply.
*All entries must be received by April 1, 2002 for consideration.
