(RED) Announces New Film Category for 2008 Vail Film Festival



VAIL, Colo., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- (RED), launched last year by Bono and Bobby Shriver and partnered with iconic brands Gap, Motorola, Converse, Emporio Armani and Apple, today announced a (RED) Short Film Category to debut at the 2008 Vail Film Festival. The "(RED) Vision" category asks filmmakers to dramatize the core ideas behind (RED) and embraces themes of inspiration, motivation and education. This announcement comes on the heels of an integrated collaboration at this year's festival that includes a 25% contribution from all Festival Avanti passes directly to the Global Fund.

"We have had an overwhelming response from consumers and the creative community from all around the world who want to do more than buy products to support (RED)," said Bobby Shriver, chief executive officer of (RED). "Our partnership with the Vail Film Festival in 2008 empowers consumers by giving them a creative platform to artistically express what the (RED) movement has meant to them. We know (RED) has had a powerful impact on them, and we're excited to see that impact on film."
