Call for NP Hackathon Participants and Projects

Malmö, Sweden, 20-22 September 2013

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 31 July

Do you want to explore the new possibilities of transmedia, gain more knowledge within the digital field of non-fiction storytelling and get to know Nordic filmmakers, artists, designers and creative people? Then you should apply for Nordisk Panorama Hackathon 2013.

NP Hackathon is a platform for taking non-fiction storytelling into the digital age, connecting filmmakers, artists and creators of digital content across the Nordic countries.

Nordisk Panorama invites filmmakers, transmedia producers and digital developers/designers to submit a proposal for a non-fiction project that they would like to develop during the Hackathon. Up to six projects will be selected and matched prior to the event. Each team (maximum three persons/team) has about thirty hours to "hack" - i.e. build a working prototype for their project. There will also be a group of design and digital developing experts present to assist you with their knowledge.

The theme for this year's NP Hackathon is "social issues".

NP Hackathon is free of charge for participants and includes a free accreditation for Nordisk Panorama Festival. Participants are required to bring their own computers, software and harddrives. NP Hackathon will provide workspace, food and a place to sleep if needed.

For more information and application, please check out the website.
