One-minute film

The competition is aimed at students, graduates and other new up-and-coming creators, filmmakers and moving image makers, who must submit creative treatments for a one-minute film which represents their environment, local country and community as seen through their eyes, using innovative techniques to reveal their perception of their place and its connection with the global community.

Bloom celebrates the uniqueness of different cultures while challenging outside perceptions and encouraging youth to think differently and pioneer new film concepts to explore a view of their country that others would not normally see through creativity and film innovation.

The winning creative treatments will be commissioned by MTVNI Creative and onedotzero and be given the chance to be shown on MTV channels and digital platforms worldwide and feature in the onedotzero festival as it tours across the world. The films will also be showcased on a website gallery, complete with credits and contact details for the winning directors.

Film treatment

The techniques used in the film treatment are completely open and may include animation such as stop frame, cell and digital techniques, as well as motion graphics, 3D, photography, film, video and interesting use of audio.

MTV and onedotzero are looking for impressive responses, both in terms of mood and emotion, and in terms of technique and exploring new angles that challenge conventional perception.

The entries will be judged by a panel of experts from MTV Networks International Creative and onedotzero. Winners will be announced in February 2007.
