CineSalon Experimental Film Festival takes place in Cork City and Cobh, Ireland, and online.
It celebrates personal, poetic and formally experimental filmmaking from across the world, providing a platform for film artists to share and discuss their work with adventurous audiences in a relaxed atmosphere. Curated by filmmakers, this defiantly independent festival exists to showcase the wild reeds of visionary film that ignore accepted cinematic paradigms and are all the more inspiring for it.
We are looking for completed moving image works ranging from 2 to 10 minutes in length, that explore:
the experience of being seen, the act of witnessing, surveillance, or observation.
The selected works will be shown in a curated screening, as a featured event of Art Weekend Budapest in late November. If selected, you will need to provide a downloadable mov or mp4 file of the work for the screening.

The Hudson Milliner Art Salon is seeking art that speaks to America—not just the political body—but the place, the culture, and the feeling, interpreted across time and by distinct peoples. America can be a frontier plain or a gilded skyscraper, and it belongs to everyone.
