9. Boston Türk Belgesel ve Kısa Film Yarışması’na Başvurular Başladı

Belgesel ve Kısa Film Yarışması’nın finalist filmleri 7 Kasım - 15 Kasım 2014 tarihleri arasında Boston Güzel Sanatlar Müzesi ve Boston Üniversitesi’nde seyirci ile buluşuyor. Seyirciler de “En İyi Belgesel” ve “En İyi Kısa” filmini belirlemek için oy kullanabiliyor. Yarışma Jürisi filmlere özel mansiyon ödülleri de verebiliyor. Ayrıca, ödül kazanan filmlerin yönetmenlerine yarışmaya katılım sertifikası da veriliyor. Ödül alan filmler 2015’de 14. Boston Türk Film Festivali programında da gösteriliyor ve ödül plaketleri düzenlenen bir törenle kendilerine takdim ediliyor.

2006 yılından beri her yıl Boston’da düzenlenmekte olan Kuzey Amerika’nın ilk ödüllü Türk belgesel ve kısa film yarışmasının jürisinde Harvard Film Arşivi Direktörü Haden Guest, film eleştirmeni Peter Keough, Boston Güzel Sanatlar Müzesi Film Küratörü Carter Long gibi film konusunda saygın isimler yer alıyor.

Türkiye'de ve dünyadaki tüm yönetmen ve yapımcılara açık olan ödüllü yarışmaya başvuruda bulunacak filmler için herhangi bir konu ve zaman kısıtlaması bulunmuyor. Ancak, filmlerin yarışma başvuru tarihinden önceki iki yıl içinde (2012) çekilmiş olması ve İngilizce altyazılı olması şartları aranıyor. Yarışmaya her yönetmen veya yapımcı herbir kategoride sadece tek bir filmle katılabiliyor. Belgesel ve Kısa Film Yarışması’nda yarışma ve yarışma-dışı gösterim programları yer alıyor. Yarışma’nın başvuru süresi 20 Ağustos 2014 tarihinde sona eriyor. Yarışma yetkilileri A.B.D. gibi film endüstrisinin çok gelişmiş olduğu bir ülkede belgesel ve kısa film yarışması geleneğinin oluşturulmasına ve sürdürülmesine öncülük etmekten büyük bir gurur ve heyecan duyduklarını ve yarışmanın Türk sinemasının A.B.D.’ye açılan bir penceresi olduğunu vurguluyor.

Geçtiğimiz yıl 200’ün üzerinde başvuru alan yarışmaya katılan filmlerin genel düzeyi nedeniyle Türk sinemasının geleceğinden çok umutlu olduklarını belirten yarışma yetkilileri tüm yönetmenleri ve yapımcıları Boston’daki Belgesel ve Kısa Film Yarışması’na katılmaya davet ediyor. Yarışma ve başvuru hakkında daha fazla bilgiye www.tacsne.org adresinden ulaşılabiliyor.
