Independent Exposure 2008 (San Francisco, USA + Worldwide) Independent
Exposure 2008 is currently considering short video, film and digital-media
submissions of 15 minutes or less and are seeking narrative, humorous,
dramatic, animation, documentary, experimental, alternative, avant-garde,
ambient, music videos, and underground works of all genres, formats,
and styles. Of specific interest are those films demonstrating artistic
presentation and storytelling. For full program information, rules,
selection criteria, prizes, and how to submit, please consult the website.
The Vitesse Lumière Festival is preparing it's 10th edition and is inviting the sci-fi/fantasy filmmakers to submit their video(s). DEADLINE:
March 1, 2008 New Forms Festival 2008: Mosaics (Vancouver) NF08:
Mosaics will examine the wide array of works that are found within Media
Arts. Works for the festival should examine relations of cross-cultural
media - through video, sound, electronic music, internet, print, and
writing. A mosaic has traditionally referred to art which takes pieces
of a part to create a whole. The word has been used in multiple references
across literature, media, science, software, video, and religion to
describe different constellations of this phenomena. In recent years
many political scientists and economists have discussed the equalizing
effects of the internet on global culture. In addition to film, music
and visuals and installation art series, NF08 will be creating shared
media pieces connected via the internet and wireless performance. These
pieces will have the ability to become part of a larger discourse on
all platforms including audio, video, textual, design, locative, and
performance. NF will be looking for applications that incorporate artists'
personal work associated with the festivals current programming as well
as proposals incorporating this greater participatory project. Programming
includes installation, electronic music (techno, dub, live performance,
a/v), presentations and film. NF is always looking to expand its partnerships
in the local community as well, and is open to new opportunities with
ARC's, Galleries and Collectives.
Rooftop
Films ia currently accepting submissions for the 2008 Summer Series.
In June 2008 they will begin celebrating their 12th year of bringing
the best underground films in the world outdoors and to the rooftops
of New York. Submit your films and videos now and participate in one
of the most unforgettable, unique, filmmaker-friendly, independent film
events in the world!
Curatorial
Resident Tamara Toledo and A Space Gallery are currently seeking new
or recent work in all media from emerging to senior contemporary artists
of Latin American descent for an exhibit to take place in the Main Gallery
and Window Vitrines in September/October 2008. The curator is interested
in work which features self-representation of diasporic Latin American
artists. Central themes of interest to this exhibition include those
of religion and politics in Latin America. The curator seeks works by
artists whose contemporary critical interdisciplinary practices challenge
the violent imposition of Eurocentric ideologies on Latin America and
recognize the creative adaptation of Latin Americans in both countries
of origin and diaspora. The curator will be selecting work from 2-5
artists for the exhibit. The curator highly encourages artists to submit
public interventions, performance, installation, media and visual art
proposals. A Space pays artist fees according to CARFAC standards.
Ed Video
Media Arts Centre in Guelph, Ontario is inviting submissions by artists
and curators for the upcoming programming season of September 2008 -
September 2009. The annual Exhibition and Screening series presents
regional, national and international video-based media art work. They
encourage a strong curatorial and artistic practice that is challenging,
stimulating, and provocative. Both emerging and established artists/curators
should apply, and they are interested in all genres of media arts -
experimental, narrative, documentary, feature, installation and inter-disciplinary.
Their aim is to also ensure that their presentations address the interests
of a diverse audience, are relevant in the local and national media
art community, and support the development of their producing members.
Fees according to the guidelines established by CAR/FAC.
Video
Pool invites submissions pertaining to the theme Resistance for the
2008/09 programming season. Resistance is a movement, a position, an
attitude, and a measure. It is an individual or collective response.
It can be political, or it can relate to physical properties of the
known universe. It concerns citizens. It concerns artists. It concerns
that which is local as well as that which is global. It is about forces,
agency, strategy, play, and subversion. It is an argument. It seeks
change, or it fights to stay the same. It mobilizes. It is unconscious.
It is a side effect. It is intentional and affirmative. Video Pool’s
2008/09 programming season will include two programs specifically focused
on new media performance and single channel film and video that resist
conventional thinking and/or assumptions about what constitute video
and new media art practices, and possibly the environs within which
they take are expected to place. Please send submissions to: Programming
Committee, c/o Video Pool Media Arts Centre, #300 – 100 Arthur
St., Winnipeg, MB R3B 1H3 Canada.

What: Television Pilot for episodic comedy series Synopsis: These are the lives of two failed, eccentric businessmen and their attempt to start a competitive ad agency with the help of some unorthodox employees. It's up to Jerry and Matt to take their unique, absurdist vision and unleash it onto the unsuspecting world. Of course they’re not alone in their endeavor, their head office is brimming with ex-cons, low self-esteem and a penchant for the absurd. Style:
Arrested development’s wit and shooting style mixed with the absurd
nature of Monty Python and the candid realism of The Office. Please call or email me for more information. Thank
you,
