ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR FILMS
BEELD VOOR BEELD is a documentary film festival focusing on cultural diversity. Emerging from visual anthropology, the festival screens documentaries about diverse (sub)cultures and offers a meeting place for filmmakers and audiences with different cultural backgrounds. The festival provides a meeting place for filmmakers and visitors with different cultural backgrounds. All filmmakers are present, and much attention is paid to the discussion between them and the audience.
Registration is open to any production dealing with culture, representation, and/or social issues, or that fits within the theme of the festival.
Films that do not fit the theme are also eligible for selection.
Additionally, there will be a section dedicated to student films. This section is open to all visual anthropology programs and other documentary film programs, provided the films fit within the general framework of the festival.

In addition to general themes related to cultural diversity, the 21st edition will pay extensive attention to:

Africa

2010 is a crucial year in the history of the African continent.
The Football World Cup in South Africa is a milestone in the construction of African identity, the first event of global importance to be hosted in Africa. Furthermore, 2010 marks the celebration of 50 years of independence for most of the former British, French, and Belgian colonies in Africa. We will devote extensive attention to social and societal aspects of post-Apartheid South Africa, while also examining the recent history and present of some of the African nations commemorating half a century of independence. In doing so, we aim to provide an overview of the state of the African continent at a crucial moment in its history.
Deadline for submissions: March 15, 2010, 5:00 PM
