Adobe Cannes film competition reaches zenith

clipped from www.macworld.co.uk Adobe will announce the winners of its online documentary competition at a star-studded event at the Cannes Film Festival tomorrow night. As announced earlier this month, Adobe, Intel and the Vancouver Film School got together to promote a global documentary-making competition called Reel Ideas Studio. The partners gave film-makers a 23 May deadline to deliver their three-to-five minute short documentary - some film-makers will still be applying the finishing touches to their movie right now, as they have until 4pm today to deliver their entry (in Flash video format) online. Writer and producer Christopher Coppola of Plaster City, Dan Birman, professor of journalism at the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication, and two-time Oscar-winning documentary producer Robert Epstein will judge the competition and the winners will see their films screened tomorrow night in Cannes.
