Pittsburgh Teens Meet Deadline for Fourth Annual Environmental Film Festival

Pittsburgh Teens Meet Deadline for Fourth Annual Environmental Film Festival

WHO & WHAT: Pittsburgh's "green" filmmakers and environmentalists grabbed their cameras, wrote their scripts, assembled their casts, scouted their locations, produced original films and submitted them by the March 3 deadline to compete in the fourth annual C.A.U.S.E. Challenge(TM) High School Film Festival.

The festival and award ceremony will showcase the short films by Pittsburgh teens on the theme "Mutual Impact: The Environment and You." Then they will have the chance to compete for $11,500 in cash and other prizes, both for themselves and their schools at the C.A.U.S.E. Challenge Film Festival and Awards Ceremony.

Sponsored by Bayer Corporation, Carnegie Science Center's SciTech Initiative and Pittsburgh Filmmakers, C.A.U.S.E. stands for "Creating Awareness and Understanding of our Surrounding Environment." Its purpose is to provide a platform for high school students who are not necessarily on a science track to become more scientifically and environmentally aware using the non-traditional, yet powerful tool of film or video. In the filmmaking process, students develop their creative voice, master basic skills - such as researching, reading, writing and speaking - and build important science literacy skills like critical thinking, problem solving and team working.

   WHEN: Wednesday, April 23, 2008   6:00 - 9:30 p.m.    WHERE: Carnegie Science Center   One Allegheny Avenue   Pittsburgh, PA  15212     /PRNewswire-USNewswire - March 4/
