As always, there's lots happening here at SAW Video. On July 19th, we'll be
presenting Videorama 2, a screening of new works from Ottawa-Gatineau.
We're premiering several new members' and non-members' works including
videos by Adrian Gollner, Sabrina Mathews, Christopher Rohde and our very
own Linda Norstrom.  The work is fabulous, so please come and check it out.

We're currently putting the finishing touches on an online members' survey,
the results of which will be used to help us develop a three year strategic
plan for SAW Video. The survey should be sent out to you by the end of the
week, so please stay tuned.

It being summer, the permanent staff will alternating holidays for much of
July and August.  To help us cover holidays, we have two new faces around
the centre this summer - Patrick Valiquet, Technical Assistant and Jesse
McKee, Administrative Assistant. They're both doing great jobs and we're
pleased to have them on board with us for a few weeks over the summer.

And finally, if the muggy days get too much - remember - we have air
conditioning!

Cheers,

CAFKA.07: Haptic
Call for proposals

Our physical connection to objects and spaces is essential to our being in the world: in the environments we inhabit, in the ways we relate to one another, and in the products we create. From the distinctive craftsmanship of the Waterloo Region's German and Mennonite founders to the region's current role in shaping the technological future we see a consistent understanding of the importance of haptic relationships from the outstanding design and use of materials in early furniture to the engineering prowess and innovation in our high-tech and research sector. This local context gives us a unique perspective from which to investigate the interplay of science, technology and artistic vision in the formation and understanding of our connections to places and things.

We ask artists to consider actual or metaphorical possibilities enabled by the haptic connection, whether achieved through exceptional handling of traditional materials or of new media. Artists may wish to consider how contemporary art practice, with its emphasis on the new, co-exists with and incorporates the skills, techniques and values of the past: to explore haptic relationships, or how contemporary art practice places into question the Cartesian duality of mind and body.

For Haptic, CAFKA invites proposals for new or existing works that engage with the theme and the environment in and around City Hall. Works in all media will be considered including sculpture, performance, video, audio, installation, photography, painting, drawing and new media. Video artists are invited to submit work relating to the theme. CAFKA.07 will create a video compilation to be screened during the Forum.

The exhibition will take place in and around Kitchener City hall for 11 days at the end of September, 2007. Artist Fees paid for Visual and Media Art Projects: CND $2,000 (intended to cover all aspects of mounting including materials and transportation). Video and one-time Performance fees paid in accordance with CARFAC (Canadian Artists' Representation/le Front des Artistes Canadiens).

Please submit 10 images (JPG/JPEG format or 35mm slides), or video documentation (NTSC DVD or VHS), along with 10 copies of printed matter including: Curriculum Vitae, project proposal, technical requirements, budget, and a completed application form. All applications must be received by November 1, 2006.

VIDEOLOGIA 2006

Curatorial group of VIDEOLOGIA is calling for entries for the official
selection program of the III International festival of audio-visual arts
that will take place in Volgograd, Russia, in November of 2006. Artists
and directors working with short films, video art, animation, documentary
films, net art and various visual experiments are welcome to participate!
All selected titles will be screened in the cinema halls and art galleries
and evaluated by the independent jury and local audience.

I. Festival VIDEOLOGIA: brief introduction.
The festival debuted in 2004. The competition selection and hors concourse
programs of international & Russian festivals & curators were demonstrated
for four days. Along with screenings VIDEOLOGIA 2004 included video
gallery, theoretical forums, concerts and performative actions in clubs.
Works taking part in the selection program were subdivided into two
nominations according to the main conceptual lines of the festival: 1)
Intersection of video with other arts (poetry, painting, photography,
dance); 2) (V)ideological statement of an artist.
The II festival VIDEOLOGIA 2005 received more than 600 video and cinema
works from 42 countries. Three screening days of its selection program
included films based on three conceptual nominations: 1) Retrospection
(works about displaced traumatic images of the past); 2) Current Moment
(films about the present and its fixation by the audio-visual means); 3)
Infanteria Futura (video and cinema about the future embodied in the
childhood images). Independent jury of VIDEOLOGIA 2005 consisted of artists, directors,
curators, theoreticians of contemporary art and musicians, who also played
concerts, held master classes and public lectures. Among the award winners
of the festival were Gerars Kairaschi (France), ?AES + F│ (Russia), Mehmet
Bahadir Er (Turkey), Dmitry Bulnygin (Russia), Patrick Rebisz (Poland v
USA), Pierre Daudelin (Canada). The unique innovation of the VIDEOLOGIA
2005 became the internet conferences with the artists who could not arrive
to Russia but had a chance to present their work to the local audience,
answer their questions and watch the screening programs on-line.
Foreign partners of VIDEOLOGIA 2005 in hors concourse programs were
International festival of cinema and video, Visionaria- (Italy),
International festival of experimental film, Carbunari (Romania) and
Inter American Videoart Biennale (works of authors from South and Central
America).

II. VIDEOLOGIA 2006: Thematic pattern
The key conceptual lines of VIDEOLOGIA 2006 will be articulated with the
special attention to the art works arriving to the festival. These lines
will become the result of synthesis of curatorial intentions and ideas of
the festival participants. Nevertheless, according to traditions of
VIDEOLOGIA curators formulate a thematic orienting point for artists and
directors. It will enable the festival selection program to become an
integral, but not homogenous, composition of conceptual series consisting
of diverse artistic approaches.

Such orienting point of VIDEOLOGIA 2006 is the theme: THE ART OF
TRANSITION: STASIS v EX-STATICS v KINESIS.

It is evident that there is no absolute stasis in audio-visual imagery;
even a silent and still representation possesses a rhythm, attuning
spectators- perception and sense to a certain tempo. However one can make
a gradation of art works targeting at creating a dynamic effect to a lesser
or higher extent. For instance, a single shot video installation made from
one camera angle without editing and aimed for a gallery exhibition will
look less kinetic in a movie theatre than a short cinema work filmed from
different perspectives and edited to create a high tempo of narration.
VIDEOLOGIA festival is very much interested in both types of works. The
festival concentrates on comparison of stasis and kinesis in audio-visual
arts, it is on the quest for ecstatic artistic impulses, which mark
transition from one state to another and are inherent in both of them.
Ecstatic impulse is understood here as a rapture, as coming out of one-s
experience, which seems to be essential for making an unpredictable work
of art. Such condition of being outside oneself because of grief or
intellectual exertion, fury or joy is characteristic of any sphere of
human activity, from religion and politics to theory and love.
If you diagnose and explore political transitions from social
disintegration to centralized hierarchies; if your work is dedicated to
unpredictable motions of human mind and heart; if you experiment with the
form of audio-visual art; if you are fascinated by the rhythm itself of
passage from despondency to ardour, from art to politics, from thought to
love, you might be very much interested in taking part in the III
International Festival of Audio-visual Arts VIDEOLOGIA 2006. Welcome!
Shoot motion pictures, participate in the festival, carry on polemics with
audience, and modify ideas of curators!

ABOUT THE COURSE:
Handmade Filmmaking in 16mm (VALUE $500)

The goal of this course is to investigate those unique aspects of film--the
film strip itself, the chemical composition of the cinematic image, the
division of the film image into frames, the manipulation of the film image
by optical means--which will become increasingly important as the medium
differentiates itself from the other arts of the moving image.

This all-inclusive hands-on film course will give you a basic foundation in
camera operation, hand processing, optical printing and a wide variety of
animation techniques. This course is open to absolute beginners and is a
great opportunity to develop a project beyond the idea stage.

Participants will receive the opportunity to use the following LIFT
equipment and LIFT facilities outside of designated class time:

- 1 Bolex for 1 weekend or 2-week days
- 8 hours with the animation camera
- 8 hours with either of LIFT's optical printers
- 8 hours of darkroom time
- 12 hours of flatbed editing time
- 100 ft. of 3374 black and white hi-con 16mm film

Eligibility Criteria: This call is open to Aboriginal candidates only.
Preference will be given to emerging artists or to video artists who have
not worked in film. Candidates must commit to attending the LIFT training
workshop for 7 consecutive Sundays starting July 9th. Unfortunately
transportation/relocation fees are not covered in this workshop.

Please email your one-page short film idea, a statement on why you would
like to participate, and a bio to kswanson@imaginenative.org.

The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, July 4th, 2005. Course begins on
Sunday, July 9th.
