IN OUT Festival 2011
October 22-23 2011

This year’s edition of the IN OUT Festival has introduced several changes to the rules of submissions and awards. We encourage you to read the rules and the application form very carefully. The first change is about presentation of the videos in two sections during the Festival. The first section will be for those videos which used to be the only subject of the previous editions, which is videos exploring medium aesthetics and referring to the video and film concept as “photography enhanced” by the time dimension. The second section will be devoted to “visual narrations”, which doesn’t mean giving space to action movies or feature films. This new part of the festival wants to show works of artists who build wider and more complex forms of artistic expression based on the video-identity idea. The videos are then supposed to provide a powerful statement on issues that are fundamental for culture: “who I am, where I come from, where I am and where I am going to”. We hope that the statements will be formulated in a language of plain images and not abstract verbal notions. We also hope that the participating artists will choose to show works which put together the environment of contemporary media with the environment of their own domestic scene and also with their individual internal experience shown with forms referring to a structural movie. If a video is an internal screen for the imagination, then the pictures produced by a medium which has been purposefully and creatively damaged will give images of a pure structure of a video, and thus will be a metaphor of pure perceptual structure which will introduce their value by neighbouring with the world of various media experience.

Curator of the Festival: Michał Brzeizński

Subscription to international short and feature film competitions are open!

Your home videos, your granpa's old Super8 reels, your wife's first ecography, your drinking games filmed with a mobile phone or your sex tape with a wannabe starlet: We don't want them.

LUFF focuses on all independent film or video creations, on innovative small budgets, on offbeat, daring, surprising and shocking visions. We look for films that have something to show and to say.

There is no constraint, no censorship, and no limit beside the legal one. And because it's you, only because it's you, we exceptionally accept to give a look at those sex tapes...

Deadline: June 30 2011
