With the “Commercial Film & Music Award” (CFMA), the Upper Austrian film and music industry has created a brand new prize that, as a successor to the “Film Forum Austria”, covers a broader spectrum of creative achievements. “The award was created for people and companies from the film and music industry from all over Austria. It should cover the entire spectrum of Austrian business films, commissioned composition and sound production,” explains Jörg Pfaffenzeller, chairman of the trade association for the film and music industry in Upper Austria. “The categories value good craftsmanship and creative and exceptional excellence.”
New categories
The new categories in the large “Craft” area are: camera, post-production, animation, sound and music: In the “Concept” area they are: story, direction, film and series. In addition, there are the supreme disciplines of “best overall implementation” and “best newcomer”. All advertising and business film productions by companies and persons registered in Austria who are WKO members can be submitted until March 20th.
The jury consists of creative people, directors, musicians and marketing experts. “It guarantees a balanced and fair evaluation of the submissions and ensures competition at an international level,” Jörg Pfaffenzeller is convinced.
