MisALT: Glitch v. Scratch
Deadline: September 10th 2011
Screening: TBA (Late September, Early October)

The MisALT Screening Series is currently accepting submissions for it’s next screening: “Scratch v. Glitch.” We seek to create a dialog between Scratch Cinema (film based practices that make physical interventions on the celluloid level) and Glitch based video and media practices (which manipulate images by exploiting vulnerabilities on the molecular and electron level of video tape and code). While on the surface these practices appear contradictory, with one being concentrating on the materiality of film  and the other focusing on the malleability of data they both share a concern with manipulating their respective mediums on what is arguably their basest level.

We are primarily interested in short to mid-length works (0-45minutes) but will consider work of longer durations and we are currently capable of exhibiting pieces on DVD, VHS, Super-8mm, 8mm, 16mm, or as digital files.

Call for submissions: Damming Fluxus
Deadline: September 30, 2011

M3 presents a fluxish storming of the forts of propriety and luxury swimming pools of bourgeois intellect within experimental cinema. The product, such as it is, will be an exquisite corpse program of eccentric fluxus cinema.  Created by Canadian film programmers of madness and dissent - Melanie Wilmink, Melody Jacobson and Murray Smith - this package will be presented to festivals as a full collection of films programmed in a mix of genres, styles and perspectives. A package that defies traditional moids of experimental cinema curation by slighting same-ness, shaming elitism and defying boredom.  The films will be viewed by all three programmers, and selected for the package through collaboration and surrealist chance.

2011 Theme:  Visual Architecture
Deadline for Submissions: September 30, 2011

Like the film Blade Runner prophesized, moving images have become an integral part of our everyday lives: on mobile phones, at the gas pump, billboards, elevators, subways, airline seats, bathrooms, nightclubs, menus in restaurants, art pieces on the gallery wall or in the hotel lobby. Screens at rock concerts wrap around stages in 360 degrees, or hang like fabric above the crowds; video projectors fit in the palm of the hand and can be connected to a mobile phone.  We have entered the It is the era of the Microcinema.

Moving images are now part of our ambient environment – creating new and unique visual experiences and challenging the way we perceive traditional narrative structures within the cinematic medium.

The theme of Visual Architecture puts forth a challenge to creative persons working within the moving image arts to exploit these new phenomena and to consider their works a part of this new paradigm.  We are seeking works no longer than 10 minutes that interpret this call and theme of Visual Architecture.  Possible genres include but are not limited to: ambient, motion-design, animation, music-videos, documentaries, non-traditional narratives, VJ/DJ visuals, experimental, and especially any new genres that you are creating!
