In recognition of a clear talent, strong presentation and a clearly thought through project now in pre-production, one with a strong subject and moving subject with potential international appeal, we make the Award of the first NEXT MASTERS to ILO ILO by Anthony Chen.
"IT MUST BE A CAMEL"
Charlotte LIM Lay Kuen (Malaysia)
We decided to propose a special mention to recognize the promise of a project in the early stages of development supported by a strongly cinematic first feature and promising a strange and distinctive poetry, we would like to make a Special Award to IT MUST BE A CAMEL by Charlotte LIM Lay Kuen.
During the 7 days of the 11th TOKYO FILMeX, from Monday, November 22 to Sunday, November 28, the filmmaker cultivation project "Next Masters Tokyo 2010" was conducted through the supervision of the TOKYO FILMeX Organizing Committee (non-profit organization) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government along with the Tokyo Culture Creation Project Office.
This project was planned to produce the "Next Masters" who will seek the ideal film culture and a metropolitan Tokyo focused on the future. Assembling young Asians with filmmaker aspirations in Tokyo, the project urged intense inspirational experiences through exposure to the assessment of top talent by way of critique sessions and lecturers from current, globally active professionals. Assembling 20 "Next Masters" candidates from Asia and Japan to Tokyo, the program developed around lecturers and discussions by specific main lecturers: internationally active directors, producers, world sales agents, film festival staff, etc. In addition, through interaction among the participants and between lecturer & participant, a newly accumulated global network was also sought and a few participants were given the opportunity to present their own projects to the group of lecturers. The participants stayed in dormitories and inspired one another. By witnessing the concurrently held international film festival "TOKYO FILMeX", the participants could imagine their own future from dialogue with senior directors as well as obtain the invaluable opportunity to build their own network.
Through a program such as this, "the moment which gives birth to new expression" was created.
