  • Open call for screening in Mexico City / New York

    By on

    This program contemplates the idea of the film surface (emulsion), which is inherent in the production and showcasing of images, as a mirror for the environments which are captured. We are interested in films that dismantle the image so it becomes space, and inversely, in films that dismantle space so it becomes an image. What might it mean for an image to undergo a series of chemical or physical changes which may eventually result in the impossibility of representational content?

    Submission fees: 

    Free submissions

    Deadline:
