Bringing together student and professional filmmakers globally, Adobe Systems Incorporated announced that it will team with Vancouver Film School and Intel on Reel Ideas Studio, a global program featuring two documentary film competitions during the 60th Annual Cannes Film Festival, May 16 to 27 in Cannes, France. Winning entries from both competitions will be recognized and their documentaries will be screened at the Reel Ideas Studio Awards on May 24 in the American Pavilion during the film festival.
Vancouver Film School and Adobe will host a contest to recognize the best three-to-five minute short subject films created as part of the Reel Ideas Studio Online Community. Additionally, Intel and Adobe are set to co-sponsor the American Pavilion Student Filmmaker Program and Competition onsite in Cannes, where students from more than thirty film schools in North America, the United Kingdom, Asia and South America will create engaging documentaries on their experiences at Cannes. Individuals entering either or both of these competitions will be able to share their progress and collaborate with their virtual teams on their documentaries with the Reel Ideas Studio online community.
