NYC Open Call for Experimental Film, Installation, Performance, and Artist Book Pages
Jouissance is an international open call for experimental film, installation art, performance, and printed works. This NYC-based exhibition and publication opportunity is designed for artists working at the charged intersection of sensory experience, embodied cinema, erotic intensity, and psychic pressure.
After a very successful second year, the third edition of Elevation Film Festival will be based at Real Ideas Organisation in Plymouth, alongside artist installations and workshops running at Maker Heights across the water in Cornwall. The festival will take place on 2-4th October 2026.
Elevation celebrates emerging voices in artistic, experimental, and expanded cinema across southwest England, the UK and internationally.
Over the weekend of Friday, May 15 through Sunday, May 17, 2026, aCinema will present a spring screening series featuring six programs, at Woodland Pattern. Two of the six programs will be curated from works submitted through the aDifferent Program open call.
