From the organizer:

We are seeking submissions of documentary films of any length produced after January 2011 for our first ChopShots Festival to be held in Jakarta Dec 5th-9th 2012.

ChopShots is a new documentary film festival for the Asia-Pacific region organized by DocNet Southeast Asia – a project initiated by Goethe-Institut and funded by the EU – and its partners from six Southeast Asian countries. The festival brings the Asian as well as the international documentary scene together to celebrate the art and business of documentary making. ChopShots is the ideal event for people from the documentary and digital industries to get together – to screen their work, share knowledge, do business, make new contacts and discuss innovations and challenges they are facing in the ever changing media landscape.
