Dear filmmakers in Europe and Africa, in North and South America, in Asia and Australia,
we are thrilled to announce the launch of the International SinCity Film Award: A competition that celebrates the imagery and ambience of Sin Cities in the 21st century.
The Roaring Twenties, “Cabaret”, “The Threepenny Opera”, “The Blue Angel”. Walking the tightrope, decadence and vanity fair, pleasure come what may, power games and money, excessive parties. Unconditional happiness.
But what do Sin Cities and their joie de vivre look like today?
We’re inviting you, filmmakers across the globe, from Abidjan to Zagreb, Berlin to Beijing, London to Lagos, New York to New Delhi, to capture the spirit of your local or favourite Sin City! Find inspiration in the zeitgeist found in the art and fashion, clubs and street-life that are currently sweeping the world’s metropolises.
The idea for this international competition was born in a London music studio, when songwriter and producer Guy Chambers collaborated with the young singer SCHMIDT from Berlin. Together, they wrote the song SinCity for her debut album.
What remained was their curiosity…
How can one possibly portray the zeitgeist found in Sin Cities of the 21st century? What kind of faces, characters, images and stories define the contemporary big city life?
We want you to find the answer.
Embark on an explorative journey: take the SinCity song on an adventurous trip to your innermost fantasies and / or exceptional realities.
Send us short films or music videos. Let your creativity run wild.
A world-class panel of hit songwriters, academy award winners and nominees, film and music video directors, actors, record label and film executives will decide on the finalists and winners of the Jury Award: Rita Flügge-Timm, Florian Gallenberger, Thekla Reuten, Philipp Stölzl, Paul Verhoeven, Volker Schlöndorff, Eike Wolf, Rolf Zehetbauer and Guy Chambers himself.
The finalists will be promoted via an international social media campaign within which an online public vote will determine the winner of the Audience Award.
