Website EuromedCafe announced the 4th edition of Another Look, the short films for the Web contest on the subject of intercultural dialogue.

The contest, created thanks to the support of the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Euro-Mediterranean Anna Lindh Foundation for Dialogue between Cultures, invites artists from both banks of the Mediterranean.

Another Look aims to contribute to the celebration of the richness of diversity by rewarding and broadcasting works which, without clichés, offer a different look at the Euro-Mediterranean region’s multiple realities, perspectives born out of these realities.

The contest has been divided into two sections: ‘Inspiration’ and ‘Completed Shorts’.

Inspiration:

- 3 prizes of 4,000 euros will be awarded by an international jury to the best synopsis on the theme of intercultural dialogue. The money will go towards the realisation of a short film based on the selected synopsis. Closing date for the synopsis is 5 November 2007; filmmakers will have until 31 March 2008 to make their short films.

Completed Shorts:

- 10 prizes of 500 euros will be awarded by an international jury on the theme of intercultural dialogue. Closing date for sending films is 10 December 2007.

The successful short films will be available for as free downloads on the Euromedcafe site (www.euromedcafe.org). The site, available in Arabic, French, English and Italian, is an open space welcoming a meeting place and an exchange between both banks of the Mediterranean.
