Announcement of International Competition Finalists
Firstly, we wish to thank everyone for supporting the 2nd Taiwan International Children's TV & Film Festival, 2006. Your participation has helped make our festival a spectacular event. The deadline for submission for this year's international competition was August 31. We received 250 films/TV programs from 37 different countries around the world.
On September 30th, the festival organizers held a preliminary jury meeting at the Government Information Office in Taipei. The preliminary jury panel included Fubon Cultural & Educational Foundation executive director Chen Ai-ling, The Forest Primary School principal & Humanistic Education Foundation Chairman Chu Tai-Hsiang , film c ritic & festival director Jane, Hui-Chen YU, famous writer Lee Yuan, and well-known hostess, actress and CEO of many media companies Chang Hsiao Yen. Through in-depth discussion and communication, these experts from a variety of fields attempted to find a point of balance between artistic creativity and children's education, most of the films /TV programs are creative and interesting, meaningful for education, colorful and magnificent. Finally, after four hours of intense debate, a list of outstanding finalists in our international competition emerged. (List of finalists.)
At this time, we congratulate all the finalists, who have stood out prominently amidst such fierce competition. Thank you for creating such moving cinematic works for children, allowing them to see a diversity of images about the world. We invite all competition finalists to come to Taipei in January 2006, and attend all the festival events. During the festival the creators of all the nominated works will take the opportunity to interact with the children, parents and filmmakers in Taiwan, stirring up new sparks of creativity, and spawning more splendid works for children.
To those competition participants who did not receive a nomination, we extend our most sincere gratitude. Thank you for the tremendous efforts you have made on behalf of children. In any competition, it is, unfortunately, always necessary to choose from among many works of merit. During the preliminary jury meeting, the jurors spent four hours in spirited deliberation. Although we were unwilling to allow the slightest omission, inevitably we were left with the sense of having deprived talented individuals of deserved acclaim. We hope that all the participating filmmakers will persist in their diligent efforts to create for the sake of children. At the same time, we also welcome everyone to take part in all the activities of this edition’s Children's TV & Film Festival. See you in January next year.
