Call for Entries
(Submission Deadline: Oct. 31 2013)
Held once every two years, the festival brings young children and adults too, to enjoy the works in this international exhibition, which will take place in April 2014. PTS, the organizers of this event, are now g up entries for this tremendous series of showings, attracting some of the finest film makers from around the world with the lure of USD 28,000 in prize money. In addition to bringing in and showing outstanding dramas, documentaries, animations and television programs, the Festival also includes an international competition that attracts the best works in children’s viewing to participate. This year the Festival introduces a new feature, a special Taiwan prize which will be awarded to the work that best represents creative work in Taiwan and exemplifies the highest standards in the industry. Hopefully this new category will inspire more film and video producers in Taiwan to work harder to turn out high quality works for children on the island.
The Taiwan International Children’s Film Festival (TICFF) was initiated in 2004 by PTS in order to broaden the international outlook of children in Taiwan and stimulate their ability to create and use their imagination. It is the only such activity in Taiwan – and indeed in all of Asia – to be designed specifically for children 12 years old or younger.
