Democratic National Convention / Cinemocracy

As most everyone knows, the Democratic National Convention is taking place in Denver this summer—August 25-28—and it’s shaping up to be a dandy. We, at the Denver Film Society are working in conjunction with the city of Denver to produce an online film festival that is taking place now and leads up to the convention that asks the question, “How do you define democracy?”

Submit a film up to five minutes in length answering that question, and the top 25 videos (as determined by public online voting) will be screened publicly during the week of the 2008 Democratic National Convention. The top five films will be screened as part of the official program of the 31st Starz Denver Film Festival (November 13-23).

The top ten vote getters will be flown in and provided hotel rooms so that they can take part in the events and parties taking place here in Denver during the convention.

For more information and to submit your film (it’s free), go to cinemocracy.org.
