Victor Hugo Competition
Peter and Richard Rouillard, Joan Ozanne and the team do it again ... and
with an additional competition too.
Guernsey has an excellent reputation as the friendliest and most relaxing
festival of them all. What a chance to escape to a lovely island 80 miles
from the South Coast of England ... and see some of the best amateur movies
of the moment. This is a festival established by two fine amateur movie
makers. Famous for their forthright written comments on entries and
for their warm, welcoming nature they offer movie makers an honest response
to and a fine celebration of their work. Young, old or in-between you
and your films will find a good home for a weekend ... or longer ... in this
temperate island.
A hotel booking form can be downloaded with bargain rates not only during
the Festival but for nights on either side of it if you want to take a break.
Victor Hugo Bicentenary
Competition
To celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of Victor Hugo in 1802 the organisers
are inviting film makers to enter a competition relating to Hugo. He
lived in Guernsey for a number of years during his exile from France.
Several of Hugo's books are located in the island. Films must relate
to his life in Guernsey in some way but need not be filmed on the island.
The organisers are sure there are enterprising film makers who will
welcome the challenge.
The rules for the Guernsey Lily competition will apply but the closing date
for entries is the 30th June 2002. There will be a trophy for the winner
together with £500 and prizes for the firdst two runners-up.
