Short film festival awards viral spots

 At this year's 24th International Short Film Festival Interfilm Berlin, viral spots will be awarded for the first time. Together, Interfilm Berlin and the PR agency Zucker Kommunikation are introducing the festival category "Virals" and awarding the "forward - international viral video award" for the best films from the Internet. Filmmakers, bloggers, agencies and all creative people who deal with viral films can propose films for the competition until September 19, 2008. The award is not looking for films with smiling babies or bankruptcies, but videos with a message, as organizers announced. Whether for or against brands, ideas, images - the important thing is the message and the intention to spread it virally on the net.
