Hello, On behalf of the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, I would like to invite filmmakers to submit films to Cine Gaia: The Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden International Environmental Film Festival that celebrates the bicentennial of the institution this year.

Would you also please be so kind as to help us get the information about the Festival out?

Please find below the basic information:

- 1 film per director

- Films of all genres, durations, techniques and without any restrictions on
the date of production that treat the environmental theme will be accepted.
- Works that have not yet been commercially exhibited in Brazil that have a
minimum resolution of 700 lines will be accepted.
- A film with an environmental theme is understood as a work that treats
environmental questions be it a documentary or a fiction wherein the
relationship between man and nature is one of the main elements.

The website is www.cinegaia.org or via withoutabox.com

The Festival deadline has been extended to September 24, 2008 for receipt of material.

Please do feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Best regards,

Eleanor Mitch
