Midwifery Today Short Film Contest

Deadline : August 10, 2010

Midwifery Today Short Film Contest
“Birth Is a Human Rights Issue”
Screening & Judging at the Midwifery Today Conference in Strasbourg, France
29 September – 3 October, 2010

Entry Deadline: August 10, 2010
Film Duration: 4 to 10 minutes

Categories

* Best Short
* Make ’em Laugh
* Advertise Optimal Birth

Prizes for each category

* 1st place: Midwifery Today one-year subscription and five-day Midwifery Today conference to be used in the next two years, from November 1, 2010.
* 2nd place: Midwifery Today one-year subscription.
* 3rd place: Book, Brought to Earth by Birth, by Harriette Hartigan

Ceremony and screenings

Screenings will be continuous throughout the conference and the winning films will be shown at the closing ceremony.

The awards will be handed out the last day of the Midwifery Today Conference in Strasbourg, France. The filmmakers’ presence is not required but it will be fun to be there. If filmmakers are not present their award will be e-mailed.

Spirit of the Conference

Midwifery Today has been working since 1985 to bring women and care givers evidence-based information about optimal birth and the different ways to provide it.

Midwifery Today, Inc., is committed to promoting safe, healthy and happy outcomes for mothers and babies, and believes that the midwifery model of non-interventive, preventive care should be the standard of care throughout the world.

As we reach the end of the first decade of this millennium, spreading information about better birth becomes crucial to the future of birth around the world. We have seen increases in the rates of cesareans, inductions, augmentations and so on, as well as various conditions resulting from the industrialization of birth—such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bonding and breastfeeding difficulties, respiratory conditions, poor bio-neurological beginnings and other health conditions. For these reasons policy-makers, hospital administrators, care givers and parents must strive for the education of the general public about the best options for pregnancy and birth and bring on a bright future for the emerging birth culture and the birth of our children.

Our culture is increasingly media-oriented and, as a result, films such as Orgasmic Birth, What Babies Want and The Business of Being Born, as well as podcasts and Web information inspire couples to make better decisions for their births. Consequently, caregivers have an incentive to propose new protocols for maternity care with the information families need.

In this spirit we invite all of you to participate in the Midwifery Today short film contest in Strasbourg, France, 2010.

Whether a filmmaker, midwife, doctor, doula, parent, artist or activist, you can participate by entering a short film in any of the three categories below.

We appreciate documentary-style, advertising style, parody and fiction.

You may include any birth footage or interviews as long as you have written permission from the "actors" and/or filmmakers.

Judges: Jan Tritten, Debra Pascali-Bonaro, Robbie Davis-Floyd, Elena Piantino and Naolí Vinaver. (Please click linked names for biographies.)
HOW TO ENTER

Please check back in January 2010 for instructions about entering contest.
Filmmaker’s Guidelines

Length: 4 to 10 minutes

Category description :

* Best Short Doc: Documentary-style presenting a particular subject concerning optimal birth. As a guideline, please read the International Motherbaby Childbirth Initiative (www.imbci.org/ShowPage.asp?id=174). Facts and statistics must be from a reliable source. Interviews with health care providers, educators, expectant couples, and new parents give depth to the message.
* Make ’em laugh: Laughing is always a door-opener and an excellent way to get your message across. Create a parody or a comical fiction that will aid in getting optimal birth practices instituted. Explain or portray the paradoxes in maternity care (for example: Monty Python’s "The Meaning of Life"). Be respectful.
* Advertise Optimal birth: you want to campaign for better birth…how would you advertise? Be creative and come up with an ad to make knowledge about optimal choices for birth available to all.

Requirements

* By entering the contest you represent that your video is original and has been legally created, that you own all rights to the video and have obtained permission from each person who is included in the video, as well as being authorized to use any copyrighted material.

* You can enter as many films as you want.
* Be sure to enter before deadline of August 10, 2010.
* Your submissions must be in English or have subtitles in English. The films will be judged by category, evaluating creativity, persuasiveness, impact of message, artistry, informational content and relevance to "Birth as a Human Rights Issue."

Rules and regulations

Violation of any of the following will automatically disqualify the film.

* Intellectual property must be respected. Use of copyrighted or confidential materials require written permission. This includes footage from existing films, photos and music.
* All videos submitted will fall under a Creative Commons license. Film makers maintain copyright and freedom to use or exploit their films but Midwifery Today retains permission to use, copy, distribute, and show your work in any way we deem necessary, as long as credit is given.
