OPEN CALL - submit your short SILENT films about Water to be screened as part of an exhibition in Cornwall, UK, in October 2024.

Moving Waters (artists moving image on the theme of Water): Exhibition dates: 10/11/12 + 17/18/19 October

To submit: Deadline for submissions Sunday 1st September 2024 11.59pm. Please send a link to your work online (if password protected – tell us this password!), 50 words about the work and 50 words about you/your practice to asometimesproject@gmail.com with Film Water in the header. All films must be MP4. All artists will be informed by email of the outcome by Sunday 22nd September 2024.

Moving Waters is independently curated on behalf of Terre Verte Gallery, Altarnun, nr Launceston, Cornwall, UK

This is not a funded event, so there is no financial support available and no external organisations are in any way involved.

Moving Waters will focus upon Silent films on the theme of Water. Water in all its forms. Watery metaphors, watery stories, documentary, narrative, experimental, abstract, political, animation, environmental, mythical, local, global, emotional, activist and observational – and everything else besides.

Works will be shown muted, back to back, on looped reels on a range of monitors in the gallery space, alongside works on individual monitors by invited artists. We welcome new works and works made in the last 5 years. If sound is an integral part of your film, this opportunity is not for you. If silence is something you already work with or are keen to experiment with, then this opportunity is for you. If you have a film that you think works even when muted, then we will consider these too.

We look forward to receiving your work!
