Our fifth anniversary workshops (taking place this coming June on the Norwegian Breakaway) and short films submitted and accepted  will be available on line here from November 1, 2013 to our deadline January 15th, 2014.  Only one space will be reserved for the deadline date as most applicants will be selected from the November and early December applicants… so try to get your application in early as there will only be one selected in January.   Do not apply before November 1… but if you send a email to me at admin@prideoftheocean.com we will add you to the call list which goes out the last week of October.   John Scagliotti and Susi Walsh.

Thanks to a recent increase in our funding, we have increased our number of merit scholarships for our CineSLAM workshop program.   Which means we can have more filmmakers on board for the our program! In order to make  deadline for the increase of the number of cabins we are reserving on the Norwegian Pearl we have announced four early acceptances this week to the program.  We do have 8 more to announce in the first week in February.  The deadline still stands at January 31 (see post below) as those eight have not yet been selected from the pool of applicants.   .

The application period for the 2013 CineSLAM Film Slam Seminars will end on January 31, 2013. The filmmakers chosen to be part of the program will be determined by February 1, 2013, and each participant will be notified at that time. A public announcement of the filmmakers participating in the 2013 program will follow.   You must submit a short* film and be accepted to the CineSLAM Film Festival in Vermont (June 22, 2013) in order to be accepted to CID/CineSLAM Film slam workshops on board Pride of the Ocean.  CineSLAM workshops are sponssored by the Center for Independent Documentary and our facilatator is Susi Walsh.
