Napoli Underground and the National Federation of Artificial Cavities present the first:

"1° International SpeleoMovie Web Festival"



Entries are now being accepted for the premiere web video showing of collected speleological documentaries and video footage from around the world during the month of November, 2010, which will be webcast on the WebTV Napoli Underground Channel near the end of November.

FESTIVAL DETAILS - Exact festival show dates will be announced sometime in October as entries and scheduling is firmed up, and those entries who provide a 3 minute trailer of their video will have their trailers in promotional rotation on the NUG TV Channel prior to the festival dates . . . each Festival broadcast day will feature the showing of three SHORTS, (unedited videos) and one CLASSIC (long form edited video.)
We have a general discussion forum in English for your comments, ideas and anything related to the SpeleoMovie Web Festival. Just take a moment first to register on the Napoli Underground web site as a member and as the festival screenings start please join in the ongoing discussion. Your comments in English may may be made HERE IN THE FESTIVAL FORUM.

PARTICIPATION - The Festival is open to everyone with no limit placed upon entries.

ENTRY CATEGORIES - There are two entry classifications:
The first category is "Speleological Shorts" for unedited video no longer than 20 minutes.  It is requested that, if possible, entrants in this category also provide a short 3 minute or less edited trailer with highlights of the video for pre-festival promotional broadcast as well. First, Second and Third place winners will be judged by votes cast by web viewers.
The second category is "Classics of Speleology" and will be feature completed, edited documentaries showing the beauty and fascination of both natural and/or artificial caverns. "Classics" will most likely have already been released for viewing by their producers. This category is open to those who would like the free exposure of their work on Napoli Underground to continue the entertainment and education of the viewing public about speleological exploration.
