In honor of its 25th anniversary of providing compassionate and supportive end-of-life care, Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY) matched student filmmakers with hospice patients in the VNSNY Living History Project: Independent Short Film Contest. The competition challenged New York film students to create VNSNY Hospice patient portraits representing memories of lives well lived. The public can view these films and vote for their favorite by clicking on the VNSNY link at http://www.independentfeatures.com/ until June 30.
The five finalists that receive the most votes will have their films screened at the Independent Features Film Festival (IFFF) at Tribeca Cinemas in New York City from July 25 – 27. The winning film chosen from the five finalists will be selected by a panel of judges and announced during the IFFF film festival on July 27. The grand prize winner will receive $10,000 towards his or her education.
Eligible schools include: Columbia University, Brooklyn College, Staten Island College, Hunter College, City College of New York, the New York Film Academy and New York University.
