This award has been given by enche' Yutat. Thanks man, I love yours too. Ok the answers for the questions:Here I put some of the latest local and international competitions announcements. These announcements have been emailed by the MSC few days ago, and I'd think I hardly can't joined any of them. I guess it would be better to share them here than be rotten and wasted in my email's inbox. So waste time no more, gather your creative team and face the challenges!

The Hamburg International Short Film Festival has its roots in the independent filmmaking scene. The Festival first took place in 1985 under the title NoBudget, a name which clearly defined the Festival’s mission. In 1994 it received its current name. Since it was founded, it has always been the Festival’s aim to rise to the challenge presented by new developments and changing parameters in technology, society, and aesthetics.
The 25th Hamburg International ShortFilmFestival will take place from 2 - 8 June 2009. The submission deadline is 15 February 2009. Films for the Three-Minute Quickie competition (the topic 2009 is 'Human Error') have to be submitted by 1 April 2009.

This week topic is 'resolve'. The first thing that struck into my mind is kamikaze. In Japanese, kamikaze means divine wind. Nowadays the word of Kamikaze has been generally accepted as to symbolize the act of self-sacrifice, determination and men with the nerve of steel, and yet romanticism. Oops, I'm not trying to glorifying the kamikaze nor Imperial Japanese Army and their atrocities in WW2.
Interesting fact that most of the 'volunteer pilot' is actually youth as young as 16 years old, and none was have done proper flight training. It was ironic that most of them crying loud calling their mother on their one-way mission. "It's all a lie that they left filled with braveness and joy, crying, 'Long live the emperor!' They were sheep at a slaughterhouse. Everybody was looking down and tottering. Some were unable to stand up and were carried and pushed into the plane by maintenance soldiers,"-Wiki.
Here I expressed the word 'resolve' as an illustration of a Kamikaze pilot in the last moment of his mission. Recently I'm mad in experimenting with PS filter action, and the result is wal-lah! Four different vintage moods. He he..
Ignore those grammars.
