Stockholm Experimental and Animation Film Festival, SEAFF, will present highly recognized artists and directors from the international scene as well as new and emerging independent artists, filmmakers and storytellers. Our first Edition will be held att Bio Rio, one of the finest and oldest Cinemas in Stockholm, founded 1943.

We are looking for filmmakers who exploit the potential of the medium to conjure and process the experiences of the world and who have an artistic ability to portray the spiritual knowledge of the same. This requires no theme of content and form. We accept narrative and none narrative film, video art, computer animation (2D & 3D), traditional animation and stop-motion animation on any topic, from every country around the world.

On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the London Filmmakers’ Cooperative (LFMC) and the fortieth anniversary of London Video Arts (now LUX), articles are invited that reflect upon the histories, contexts and legacies of artists’ film and video practices in Britain since 1966. Both organisations played a significant role in the development of the distinctive and diverse artists’ moving image culture experienced in the UK today. This double issue of MIRAJ marks these anniversaries in order to draw forth new scholarship and research in a vital field of study and practice. This issue will be guest edited by Benjamin Cook and Lucy Reynolds.
