Docu72
Real Life / Documented / 72 Hours
While THE kick off of the year is saved for the Ruby World Cup on the 9th of September, another important kick off will be held two weeks earlier with the inauguration of Docu72.
Docu72 will be held from 26-29 August 2011 and now is the time to gather friends, family, colleagues and anyone with a pulse to help you win this competition.
The premise is simple – 72 hours for a team to create and deliver a short 5 - 8 minute documentary.
Teams register online and log-in at the beginning of the 72 hours to discover the unifying theme and the choice of two particular genres per team.
The finished film must be delivered within the 72 hour time period to be considered for judging. Films will be available online at the competition website for audience voting.
The Judges are former Prime Minister Helen Clark, Academy Awards shortlisted filmmaker Tom Burstyn and Jenny Ross, producer at Al Jazeera English.
