UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATION FILM FESTIVAL - UPCOMING DEADLINE SUBMISSION
Palo Alto, East Palo Alto, San Francisco, & Stanford - California - USA
October 21 to 30, 2011
One of the oldest documentary film festivals in the United States, the 14th Annual UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATION FILM FESTIVAL (UNAFF) presents a program of thought-provoking non-fiction works that explores cultures, delves into human rights and social issues, and documents the world's problems and triumphs.
Touted by Nobel Peace Prize recipient Dr. James Orbinsky as "not only the greatest documentary film festival in the U.S., but in all of the Americas," UNAFF was originally conceived to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Festival has since presented some of the world's most talked-about documentaries, including 19 Academy Award nominees and 5 that went on to win the Oscar: PANAMA DECEPTION, THOTH, THE BLOOD OF YINGZHOU DISTRICT, FREEHELD, and TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE.
Exhibiting filmmakers vie for five honors: the UNAFF Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary, UNAFF Grand Jury Award for Best Short Documentary, UNAFF Youth Vision Award, UNAFF/Stanford Video Award for Cinematography, and UNAFF/Stanford Video Award for Editing. These awards include cash prizes and will be presented at the Festival.
