Dear Moviemaker!

You want to join? We are looking forward to seeing your film! Please fill in the below form and send it back to us together with your movie until 25 September 2004.

In order to promote Super-8 film and encourage people to make a ?reel? film, the specialist publishing house Schiele & Schön organises the NOMOS Super-8 Film Award. The winners will be shown at the Waghäusel narrow-gauge film fair on 9/10 October 2004. The theme for your movie: ?a short story about the time.? Apart from our main sponsor, the designer watchmaker NOMOS from Glashütte/Saxony, Kodak, Wittner Kinotechnik, the Waghäusel narrow-gauge film fair and the Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Broadcasting Service) also support this competition. The first prize will be Euro 1,000 as well as a ?Nomos Tangente? with a special Super-8 style strap (worth Euro 690). The second prize will be Euro 500 plus a ?Nomos Tangente?. Further ?Nomos Tangente? watches will be awarded which also feature the special strap with Super-8 sprocket holes as well as an engraving of the winner?s name. Vouchers for film equipment and accessories, Kodak film stock as well as free subscription to the schmalfilm magazine for one year can also be won.

The winners and their films will be presented by the freizeitMagazin on Bavarian television on 28 October at 7.00 pm.

In no longer than three minutes, the films should tell ?a short story about the time.? There are no further restrictions. So, it could be with or about watches, but it could also be a film that indirectly deals with time. We accept Super-8 and Single-8 films, in colour or black and white, with or without sound. The prizes will be awarded through a jury. All films have to be sent to the editorial office of the schmalfilm by 25 September 2004.

Good luck!

Can you send in a movie if you are in the US?

Alessandro Machi · August 18, 2004

Definitely can be from the United States. What I'm not sure about is what video formats your film can be transferred to. I'm asuming you can shoot on film and edit on video, but I don't know if it has to be submitted in pal or not nor what is the highest quality video format they will accept.

I read in a different forum that they want either the original Film or DVD. But it sounded like they discouraged DVD.

Hmm, I'll check this out, could be interesting. (but, no idea how I'd keep it on film tho, as my latest project is mixed-format, half on Super8, half on 16mm)
