The competition is open to all ICG members who are still photographers, camera loaders, assistants and operators. The only requirement is that entries must be 30 minutes or less. Judging is done by a peer group of Guild cinematographers, assistants and operators who evaluate the artistic contributions made by the cinematographers. Some 80 short films were submitted to the 2005 ICG Showcase.
Additional screenings will be slated in many other cities around the country. Kodak has sponsored the ICG Showcase screenings since their inception. For more information, including dates and locations for future screenings, visit the ICG website at www.cameraguild.com.
