Discovery Channel, in cooperation with
Uproar Asia, on August 12 launched the First Time Filmmakers (FTFM)
Vietnam documentary competition, aimed at bringing Vietnamese stories
to the world.
The FTFM Vietnam, made possible by a 250,000-USD grant from the Ford Foundation, aims to help develop the documentary storytelling skills of Vietnamese filmmakers.
Under the project, Uproar Asia will invite Vietnamese citizens with some experience in documentary filmmaking to submit proposals for 30 minute, story-based documentary films on the theme of “ Vietnam’s Urban Transition.”
Twelve proposals will be chosen by a panel of foreign and Vietnamese judges, and all the finalists will be invited to attend a three-day television documentary production workshop in Hanoi next month.
The five best directors will be chosen to make their films under the supervision of Uproar Asia, and final editing for each 30-minute film will take place with technical advice from Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific in Singapore in March 2010. They will then be broadcast on Discovery Channel.
“This is an extraordinary opportunity for filmmakers across Vietnam to showcase their talents to a global audience and have the whole new world of international television production awaken before them,” said Sarah Macdonald, Managing Director of Uproar Asia./.
