Love food? Love You Tube and think you can make a film too? IF you are between the ages of 10 and 17 you can enter the Slow Motion Youth Film and Video Contest.
Make a 5 minute or less film about food and how it affects the world around you. Work with a teacher at school, a recreation program this summer or on your own. All submissions will be judged by acclaimed Hollywood film director Robert Kenner (FOOD, Inc) and the winner will be screened at the Slow Motion Food Film Fest this fall. The winning filmmaker will be asked to come and present his or her film. The film will also be included in the Youth Day project at SLOW MOTION, presented to school children around the province.
