The South African Embassy in Warsaw Poland is planning to participate for the third time in the International Tourism Film Festival in Plock, Poland, and is calling for short tourist films that may be presented at the festival in May 2008.

The film may be short tourist spot or a TV film no longer than 50 minutes. The film may also be used in the Tour Salon Film Festival in Poznan, Poland, during the Tour Salon Tourism Fair. Te film will be used only for promoting South Africa and not for any commercial purpose.

The previous two editions of the International Tourism Film Festival (www.tourfilmfestival.pl)
in 2006 and 2007 were very successful for SA. In 2006, the jury awarded SA Tourism the Best Photography for the film “Is it possible to visit South Africa right now” and the Best Soundtrack for “Lion's share”.

Last year, the South African Embassy Warsaw presented a photo exhibition called “The Rainbow Country” and the photos won the Special Award in Photo Category.
