UK winner at the JVC Tokyo Video Festival 2003

Oxford filmmaker Paul O’Connor's video documentary, 'Globalisation and the Media', has been honoured at the 25th JVC Tokyo Video Festival.
In his video, O'Connor questions the uniform reporting provided by television and other giant mass media outlets, and makes the case for new media that is able to continue to provide images from independent perspectives. The investigations offer a valuable insight into how people with camcorders are offering a perspective to stories that the mainstream news doesn't.
This year the judges reviewed a record breaking 2,386 submissions from 38 countries and regions (935 from Japan, 1,451 from other countries). The Announcement and Awards Ceremony was held at The Garden Hall in Ebisu, Tokyo.
The JVC Tokyo Video Festival started in 1978 and is the longest-running international, public participation video festival in the world.
The festival is open to professionals and amateurs alike, and has an international reputation as a “forum for cultural and human exchange in the video medium”.
