PRIX JEUNESSE SUITCASE
IN MANILA
Goethe Institut-Manila in cooperation with the Prix Jeunesse Foundation and the Philippine Children's Television Foundation, Inc. (PCTVF) brings the "Prix Jeunesse Suitcase" for the second time on Philippine shores.
The "suitcase" contains the prize-winning children's TV programs in the recent Prix Jeunesse Festival held last June in Munich, Germany. The "top of the crop" include: "Birds in Passage" (ZDF-Germany), "Bizbirije" (Canal Once TV-Mexico), "The Boy Who Stopped Talking" (NOS/KRO-Netherlands), "Tele-Julia" (Telewizja Polska-Poland), "Wise Up" (Channel 4-London), "Children of the Fishing Boats" (CCTV-China), "The Girl Behind the Veil" (Danmarks Radio-Denmark) and "Sugarcane Workers" (GMA/PCTVF-Philippines).
Screening sessions will be held from 9 am to 5 pm at the Goethe Institut Auditorium on October 16 (for children and the media) and on October 17 (for children's TV professionals). The moderators will be Aleli Salazar and Paula Popple, who represented GMA-PCTVF at this year's festival and accepted the award for "Sugarcane Workers", winner of the 1998 BMW Prize for the "most outstanding program produced with limited production facilities." Feny de los Angeles-Bautista, PCTVF's Executive Director who served as Moderator of the Moderators at this year's festival, will introduce Prix Jeunesse and the festival trends for 1998.
Now on its 34th year, the biennial Prix Jeunesse Festival has earned worldwide recognition as the "Oscars of children's television" -- a standard of excellence as well as a marketplace for new ideas, trends and innovations in this field.
The "Prix Jeunesse Suitcase" grew out of a desire to reach as many children's TV producers as possible especially those who have never been to the festival. It has toured countries like Mexico, Cuba and Brazil in Latin America; New York, Chicago and Los Angeles in the U.S.; the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania in Europe; China and South Korea in Asia, and will be on the road throughout the next two years until Prix Jeunesse 2000.
