New Categories for Historical Films
"If you would understand anything, observe its beginning and its development." Aristotle
WorldMediaFestival is now also offering additional categories for "historical" films which were produced before 1980. The new categories are:

Historical |
The history of the medium "Film" began with an "industrial film" in March 1895 in France when Louis Lumière showed a one minute film with the title "Workers Leaving The Lumière Factory". This film is generally regarded as the first film in the world and fulfilled all the main criteria of an industrial film up to the present day: providing relevant information about a business subject and commissioned and paid for by an enterprise.

Japan Association of Audiovisual Producers, Inc
Award-winning WorldMediaFestival films at seminar in Tokyo
Dear Ms. Cora Chinbuah,
We wish to have expressed our gratitude for your coming to the screening in
Japan last year.
Mr. Takeshi Osuka, vice president of our association, died on March 6 this
year. His death was a big severe wound for us. But his will is succeeded, an
international committee was started up with new members. Mr. Kimio Ito,
President of Image Science and Mitsuro Makiguchi, Managing Director of Image
Science joined as members. Of course, we also have obtained the strong support
of Ms. Emiko Okumura.
We are planning the screening of the Corporate film that received the high
appraisal in Europe and the United States this year.
We have got the high appraisal from the participant every year because this
kind of film doesn't have the chance to be open to the public in Japan besides
this screening.
Best regards,
Tadashi Ohkubo
Secretary-general

Forum "Film WORKS" Successful Investment in Corporate Films
Organiser and host is Hamburg@work
http://www.hamburg-media.net/
in cooperation with
- Working Group for Audiovisual Media at Hamburg@work
- intermedia / WorldMediaFestival - global competition for modern media
Experienced communications managers from substantial businesses talk about successful corporate film projects that received awards in 2005 at the WorldMediaFestival - global competition for modern media.
The forum is intended for
- Senior managers in companies, trade associations and organisations who are responsible for communication and publicity
- PR specialists who act on behalf of clients
- Producers of corporate films, as well as those who write, direct and film them
- Service providers in the audiovisual media industry
- Specialist journalists
Communication films have differing and very special tasks to perform.
Concept and realisation have to be carefully agreed between commissioner and
producer when complex messages are involved. The more exactly the effective
communication of core messages is thought through and worked on, the more
certain it is that the film will achieve its intended effect, and thus be of
use to the commissioner.
Film success needs continuity and a strategic overview.
This Forum lets you look over the shoulder of successful communications
managers, and provides information on
- The importance of, and possibilities of, the medium
- Specific advantages
- Budgeting and distribution

The organisers of the WorldMediaFestival have travelled to Japan to
introduce the concept of the Festival to the Japan Association of
Audiovisual Producers, as well as to show some of the 2005 award winners.
The Association held its 8th annual seminar on 7th December 2005 at the

recently-produced international corporate films. The seminar was well
attended, with an audience of around 150 members of the Association as well
as other interested professionals.
Mrs Cora Chinbuah (founder and owner of the WorldMediaFestival) gave a
presentation about the content and scope of international festivals: "Global
competition is global communication". She also talked about the value and
uses of audiovisual communications. The presentation had not only been
translated from English into Japanese but was also presented in Japanese by
Ms. Emiko Okumura, who is a member of the Distinguished Board of Advisors of
the WorldMediaFestival.
Following the presentation, 10 international award-winning corporate films -
7 of them WorldMediaFestival winners - were shown, with Japanese subtitles,
to the audience. The president of the Association introduced each film
before screening, telling the audience about its producers, sponsors and the
purpose of the production, as well as providing a short synopsis.
