Salon Fridays at Topanga Film Festival start February 12, 2010
Urs Baur preps for a Salon Friday
With much ado about the expanded 2010 Topanga Film Festival and the advent of a more formal Topanga filmmaker community-in-formation through the Topanga Film Institute, we invite you to drop in any given Friday after 2p.m. to tell us about your latest project and to hear about what we have going on.
This Friday, a part of the afternoon’s focus will be on selecting the Best Multimedia Journalist at the Southeastern Journalism Conference — a brand new competition category for the 23-year old conference that concludes on February 3, 2010. Anyone in attendance Friday will join Sara, Urs and Milena in selecting the conference’s top multimedia journalist.
Judging will take place from 5-6p.m. For anyone wishing to participate, please take note that competing students must have included a minimum of three formats to cover a single story. For example, the story may have been covered as a print story, with an online slides how with voice-over, and a blog written to explain the behind-the-scenes work that went into covering the story. Multimedia formats that may be have been submitted with each story can include still images, written text, audio and video, and/or social media coverage (such as a Twitter stream from a breaking news event). Each submission should provide live links, with URL(s).
