  • Radical Footage: Film and Dissent

    By on

    Radical Footage: Film and Dissent
    Deadline: 30th January 2012

    Radical Footage: Film and Dissent invites the submission of short ‘radical’ films to a one-day event to be held at The Space, Nottingham Contemporary, Friday 9th March 2012. Initiated by Oliver Ressler’s introduction to his film What is Democracy? the day will explore the potential of film to contribute to social-political change.

    Historically, experimental film has played a significant role in contesting the political status quo from Lenin's early C20 declaration that cinema was the most revolutionary artform to DIY footage of the Arab Spring and anti-capitalist occupations. Locally and globally, film is being used to provoke, agitate, ask questions and generate new politicized communities.

    We welcome short films which address any of the following themes in any form (documentary/ experimental/ DIY/ lowtech/hitech) from (either a historical or) a contemporary perspective: public, corporate or intimate sites of dissent/protest; collective action; civil disobedience.

    Studio 27: Utopia?
    for the Big Muddy Film Festival 34
    Deadline: January 16, 2012

    Studio 27 is looking for short videos and films for our next program at the Big Muddy Film Festival 34 at Southern Illinois University. We are curating a special out-of-competition screening titled "Utopia?" For this program, we are seeking experimental films and videos (under 30 minutes) that critique or express a fundamental shift in the trajectory of contemporary utopian thought and practice. We are interested in work that explores how utopia, as a projection of what is possible in the future, can be an implicit critique of what is lacking in the present, an indication of how far we have to go to achieve an ideal society. As the notion of dystopia is integrally connected to utopia, we also welcome work that is dystopic in nature. How do the limitations and contradictions of the present drive us toward escape or change? Another timely concern is how utopia is not necessarily a physical or geographic space. Rather, it can be an internal space, a transformation of individual or social consciousness. How does the hope for radical social transformation haunt contemporary media art, and how does the utopian work of the historical avant-garde speak to present day aspirations?

Our mission is to promote films and videos that dissent radically in form, technique, or content from the “indie” mainstream and to present adventurous works that challenge and transcend commercial and audience expectations…if you suspect your film is “underground,” it probably is.

    Founded in 1993, The Chicago Underground Film Festival (CUFF) is a year-round organization dedicated to the work of film and video makers with defiantly independent visions. Unlike many other “independent” film events our goal is not to imitate old guard, market-driven events such as Sundance but Instead to focus on the artistc, aesthetic and fun side of independent filmmaking. CUFF promotes works that dissent radically in form, content and technique from both the tired conventions of Hollywood and the increasingly stagnant IndieWood mainstream.
