Active 89FM's Handle the Jandal, the nationwide DIY music
video competiton, is back for 2008 and is calling for

Handle
the Jandal is the annual competition for Do-It-Yourself New
Zealand filmmakers to create music videos for local bands
and artists. It's about matching rising music stars with
up'n'coming filmmakers, so all videos must be completely
self-funded and may only use New Zealand music.
This
will be the 10th Handle the Jandal competition. After a
one-year hiatus, it has moved to a new venue, the spacious
and regal St James on Courtenay Place.
A panel of
judges will decide Best Editing, Best use of Exploitative
Tactics to Promote a Band, Best Cinematography, Best
Concept, Best Animation and Rising Star. An audience vote at
the awards will decide the seventh golden flip flop
category: the Favourite Handle the Jandal Video award
winner.
At the 2006 awards, 93 entries from aspiring
filmmakers and give-it-a-goers competed for prizes across
seven categories.
Prizes have yet to be confirmed,
but in 2006 around $70,000 of prizes were up for grabs
including filmmaking production facilities, a digital home
theatre projector, equipment hire, travel vouchers and
digital cameras. The grand prize was $10,000 worth of
facility use at Peter Jackson's Park Road Post
studios.
All videos will be promoted and re-broadcast
on television, mobile phone networks and social networking
websites.
Radio Active 89FM acknowledges NZ on Air and
the NZ Film Archive for their continuing support.
