The Journeys Awards competition is designed to offer young filmmakers a chance to showcase their creativity, demonstrate their technical skills and resonate with an audience. It also offers two $25,000 prizes: Jury’s Awards and Online People Choice Award as well as a unique opportunity to gain an international media exposure at the Venice Film Festival.
The second edition is headed by Luca Guadagnino, and is calling on emerging filmmakers to show what a meaningful encounter means to them. How it is experienced. Where it is experienced. How it is felt in the soul. What is lived in that moment and carried away from it.
This prize is an initiative by Louis Vuitton, a company that has always put travel at the heart of its philosophy. The Journeys Awards were first launched in 2009 with the director Wong Kar Wai, giving the opportunity for young filmmakers between the age of 18 and 35 to increase their exposure to an international audience.
