 | | On Thursday, January 27 at the Sundance Film Festival, Ken Brecher, Executive Director of the Sundance Institute, and Makoto Ueda of NHK (Japanese Broadcasting Corporation) announced the recipients of the 2005 Sundance/NHK International Filmmakers Awards: Catalin Mitulescu of Romania, Rodrigo Moreno of Argentina, Richard Press of the United States, and Mipo Oh of Japan. |

 | | Recipients receive $10,000, an acquisitions agreement with NHK for Japanese broadcast rights for 15,000,000 yen (US $125,000-$150,000), an invitation to attend this year’s Sundance Film Festival, meetings with key industry executives and publicity through the Sundance Film Festival and the Institute. |
