Cine contest THE nationwide attention of 16mm. filmers was evoked by the announcement, in the November 1940 Movie Makers, of an important film contest, based on the general theme of "My America." This contest, sponsored by H. Threlkeld-Edwards, ACL, president of Non Theatrical Pictures Corporation, 165 West 46th Street, New York City, is open to all amateur movie makers who care to submit a 16mm. film, black and white or color, on what America means to them. Concerning the subject of the contest, Mr. Edwards says, 'There are no restrictions on how this theme may be worked out. Amateur movie makers everywhere are well qualified to give their own interpretations on this subject. Look at the life about you, your home, your city, the ways of living you know and love. That is your America. Film interpretations of democracy in action, its freedoms, its opportunities, its heritage — these will form the best subjects." The contest awards are: first prize, S100.00: second prize. S50.00; third prize. 825.00. In addition, all contestants are afforded the opportunity of having their pictures considered for commercial distribution on a basis of mutual benefit to the contestant and the distributor. Films of 100 to 800 feet in length are eligible, and they may be submitted in silent or sound 16mm. Movies entered in this contest may be made of all new material, especially filmed for the purpose, or of older footage that has been edited and titled, to fit the contest theme. Thus, there is the widest latitude, and almost any movie maker who has good footage about his home or his country has the "makings" of a contest entry. Scenic footage or shots of all sorts of industries and human activities could be used. The contest closes at 12:00 noon. March 15. 1941, and full contest rules may be had from the sponsor. Here is a chance to show what you can do in building a patriotic picture. H.
