| RTД challenges filmmakers on its 1st anniversary |
RT’s documentary channel RTД is challenging amateur and professional filmmakers to take part in competition for short documentaries. The winning film will be broadcast on RTД and published on the RTDoc and RT websites.
Films have to be less than thirteen minutes long, and need to submitted by 1st September 2012.
A team from RT will judge the submitted films.
Jury member RT’s George Watts shares his advice with the wannabe filmmakers.
“Most films give viewers a closer look at the lives of other peoples and nations, which helps bring them closer together and makes the world a safer place. Make your short film as simple as possible: concentrate on one or two aspects of the main subject, be it a different lifestyle, occupation, schooling, nature, etc,” Mr. Watts says. “You can never go wrong with stories about modest people helping the handicapped, charity and in general, kindness to other people and even animals.”
RT’s reporter Oksana Boyko, is also a member of jury and says “many of the documentaries aired by the world’s leading channels were made by amateurs.”
“Being so involved and interested in the stories they tell, amateur filmmakers often do it with much more feeling and emotion, than the professionals,” Boyko says.
Another jury member and the head of RTД channel Ekaterina Yakovleva says the competition is for people dedicated to what they do and attentive to details and to life around us all.

“Viewers normally see the world through the eyes of reporters, directors, cameramen. But we’ve decided to revert the situation,” Yakovleva says. “We want to see the world as our viewers see it. We are interested in what kind of stories and events bother the participants of the contest. Thus we’ll learn to understand our viewers better.”
As part of its first anniversary on air, RTД will be giving viewers another chance to see the most acclaimed shows of the year.
