Laughlin, Nev. (PRWEB) January 14, 2009

The International UFO Congress, a leading organization for the research and documentation of UFO and related information, is currently accepting submissions to their 18th Annual Film Festival at the newly renovated Aquarius Resort and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada from February 22nd through February 28th.

Filmmakers compete in twelve categories, including Best Historical UFO Documentary, Best UFO Footage Within a Documentary, Best Abductee/Contactee Documentary, Best Animated UFO Program, and the People’s Choice Award, in which the winner is decided by popular vote among the conference attendees. All other categories are judged by a panel of twelve, led by Paul Davids, producer of Roswell and Sci Fi Boys. Any UFO film released during 2008 is eligible, so send your entries in!

Entry Guidelines dictate all new UFO or Related Films released during 2008, either on video, or having a public screening, are eligible to enter. Films released prior to 2008, or to be released in 2009, may be submitted to the festival for public screening (at no charge), but will not be eligible for judging or awards. Such films will be shown only if time allows. Titles not yet released, but screened at this year’s festival, may be entered next year for awards judging if they are released during the year 2009.

The EBE Awards Banquet, a UFO version of the Oscars, will be held on Saturday February 28, 2009 where winners of each category will be presented with EBE Statue.

In order to allow sufficient time to edit the clips of your film for the awards ceremony, to plan the screening schedule, and be able to list the films in the conference program, please send us your entry form, fees and films before the deadline.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 25, 2007

New York City will play host to scholars, entertainers, artists, UFO enthusiasts and actual alien abductees in the first annual UFO’s: The Culture of Contact Multimedia Festival June 22-24. Marking the 60th anniversary of the Kenneth Arnold UFO sightings, which initiated the modern UFO era, the festival will feature movies, lectures by top investigators, music, theater and artwork related to UFO/Alien contact. The Festival will be held at the Pioneer Theater, Lit Lounge and P.S. 63, all in Manhattan’s own bastion of the unusual: the East Village.

Close Encounters of a New York Kind

Sponsored by UFO Magazine and JayVay Productions, the 3-day Culture of Contact Festival will give the public a chance to sample the many ways UFOs have impacted modern culture. The festival is conceived and curated not only by educators, investigators and scholars, but by individuals whose interest in the phenomenon is as up close and personal as it gets: actual UFO witnesses and alien abductees.

Attendees to this groundbreaking event will enjoy:

Classic “flying saucer” sci-fi films and new UFO movies
Lectures and panel discussions by renowned scientists, investigators, witnesses, authors and abductees
Live music inspired by UFO’s and sci-fi
Theater, standup and readings
A gallery of UFO art by abductees and enthusiasts

Participating personalities include bestselling authors Budd Hopkins and William J. Birnes, noted psychic and UFOlogist Farah Yurdozu, and UFO investigator-filmmaker-author Jeremy Vaeni.

Marking 60 Years of a Worldwide Phenomenon With a Manhattan First

Culture of Contact Festival organizer and participant Jeremy Vaeni explains that UFO festivals are popular around the country, but this is the first time one of this scope has come to Manhattan.

“It’s been 60 years since UFOs exploded into the public consciousness,” Vaeni says. “They’ve impacted everything from movies to literature to pop music to television. What better place to celebrate this global phenomenon than New York City, the center of the universe for art, culture and entertainment.”
