Calls for festivals, art residencies and other events

Posted by kika nicolela on 25 May 2008 at 9:47pm in Video Artists

I decided to share with you guys (in the hope that others also start sharing) some of the call for participations that I come across.

I do a lot of research to find the best festivals, the ones that enjoy art videos, are competitive and also don't charge entry fee. About the residencies, the best ones don't also charge the artist, or even give some kind of support.

So please, dear members of Video Artists, let's stick together and help each other find these opportunities!

I've been to videoformes twice, it's great. I won there last year.
I've also screened in videolisboa, split and loop barcelona, but I didn't attend.
we have videobrazil in sao paulo, a great festival too, but it only accepts videos from the south hemisphere.; ▶ Reply to This

this film festival had its first edition only a few days ago, is very interesting and even longer term, you can find information for future projects.

Between August 18th and 29th, 7 simultaneous workshops in open software and hardware for designers and artists in Malmo, Sweden. Themes will be related to either physical computing or computer vision. There are both basic and advanced workshops that vary in length between 2 and 3 days.

There is no limitation to shape and format, combinations with analogical technologies and/or any other material (eg computer animation / visual effects, digital music, interactive art, net art, software art, live cinema, audiovisual performance, etc.); ▶ Reply to This

Frieze Film 2008: Road Movie, Frieze Art Fair, London

make your own movie...
make someone else's movie...
make it your mission to read
'The Road'...
make a small part of a bigger whole...
make it on YouTube...
Make it into Frieze Art Fair

Frieze Film 2008 announces Road Movie, an experiment in film making, authorship and dispersal made in response to the way in which digital platforms such as YouTube have made film a medium freely available to all.

Road Movie will be a film made by artists and filmmakers in response to an open invitation issued by Frieze Film. Road Movie will be produced and distributed on the Frieze Film 2008 group on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/group/friezefilm2008 , and on the Frieze Film website http://www.frieze.com/film . The final result will be a film made in an entirely new way: the first multi-authored fractal film assembled from the sum of its submitted parts.

Inspired by Cormac McCarthy’s 2006 novel ‘The Road’, Frieze Film will not have a conventional narrative: in addition to submitting original material visitors to YouTube will be able to download and refashion existent clips, spurring a chain-reaction of multiple narratives and occurrences: Road Movie will be wholly individual and collective.

Frieze Film will be shown in Channel 4’s admired ‘3 Minute Wonder’ slot during the week of Frieze Art Fair from Monday 13 October to Thursday 16 October at 7.55pm.
