    3rd Edition/ Keep The Illusion Alive
    August In Art Biennial
    10 – 17 August 2010, Varna, Bulgaria

    The 3rd edition of the Videoholica International Video Art Festival 2010 will take place in the period 10 – 17 August 2010 in Varna within the framework of the International Biennial for Visual Arts AUGUST IN ART.

    Videoholica 2010 will present a series of video art projections and exhibitions and will make presentations of well-known international video art forums and honored video artists in parallel with discussions concerning video art topics.

    The 3rd festival edition will pass under the Keep The Illusion Alive motto.

    In the process of increasingly stiffening economic spheres, multimedia, hyper realities and cybernetic culture, ‘the network of simulacra’ has become increasingly live phenomenon. High technologies, information, internet, clicking, downloading, setting commands, editing memories, cutting out dreams! The art sets the issue: "Shall we use all this, or shall we transform ourselves into very it?" The "hyper reality", thus created, dictates personality’s behavior, perception and consciousness, causing loss of subjectivity. The motto of this year's festival appeals to preserving one’s identity/ authenticity in the process of mass modification and unification of the individual. The term "illusion" is the subject of many cultural, sociological, religious, philosophical and psychological studies from the time of postmodernism, and continues to be a live issue, both with positive and negative connotations. In this sense, the conservation/ preservation of the unreal is a negation of the material world and a protest against the omnipotence of information, socio-cultural and politico-economic speculations.

    The decisions about the selection of the videos will be made by the 5-member jury. All the applicants, who observe the rules and the deadline, will have admission to the jury, which will take place in July 2010. The final results will be announced and sent to the applicants by e-mail by the end of July 2010. The jury will make representative selection of 20 movies. There is no submission fee.

    Videoholica 2010 open call will run until 30 of June 2010 and all applications are very welcome.

    The 7th Edition of the International Experimental Film Festival Carbunari 2010
    Deadline: 10th March 2010 (postmarked)

    The International Experimental Film Festival is dedicated exclusively to sustaining and promoting the experimental films. We consider the experimental film to be one of the most interesting expression forms of contemporary art. The seventh edition of the Experimental Film Festival 2010 is a specific one because we will integrate the films from this year within the French-English Poetry Festival organized by the magazine LA TRADUCTIERE to Paris in June 2010.

    This year subject of the French-English Poetry Festival is “DU POETIQUE a la POESIE” (“From Poetics to Poetry”). The video artists are invited to illustrate those 36 poems which were presented to the festival by means of experimental films. All the poems will be reproduced in a bilingual French-English edition and the films will constitute the third translation that of the image.

    Unedited Material From the Star (John Latham, 1960)Call for Submissions and Recommendations for new LUX/ Light Industry Publication
    Deadline: 26 February 2010

    Artists' Film and Video: An Anthology of New Writing is a forthcoming publication collecting the best new international writing on and about artists' film and video, published by LUX, London and Light Industry, New York.

    Inspired by Live Art Development Agency's 'Live Art Almanac', 'Artists' Film and Video: An Anthology of New Writing' will collect recent writing on and about international artists' moving image in all of its forms - including but not limited to essays, interviews, reviews, news stories, obituaries, commentaries, artists' writings, manifestos, letters, emails, rants, etc. The publication aims to be non-partisan in its approach, capturing the breadth and diversity of perspectives in this area of practice.

    We are seeking submissions and recommendations for material now. What have you seen in the last two years (2008-2009) that you feel has captured or reflected on issues and debates which have currency in contemporary artists' film and video? We are primarily looking for writing that has been published or circulated in the past two years, but will consider unpublished/undistributed writing as well. What is important is that the pieces be thoughtful, engaging contributions to discourse in this area. We are interested in things you have read, but also that you have written, the only limit is that texts should be under 5,000 words in length. Although the publication will be in English, we are also interested in texts in translation.

    The collection will be a text-only print-on-demand book, and it will be sold at cost-price (to cover printing and distribution). We are therefore unable to pay fees for contributions. The goal is ultimately to disseminate information and promote new writing and writers.

    The selection for Artists' Film and Video: An Anthology of New Writing will be be made jointly by LUX, London and Light Industry, New York, and the book will be published in Summer 2010.

    To send a recommendation or submission please email anthology@lux.org.uk with the following information:

    • title
    • author
    • where published
    • publication date
    • a short statement as to why you consider the recommendation to be appropriate for the collection

    If possible, include an electronic version of the text, ideally in Word or other text format.

    We will seek permissions from authors and publishers prior to publication.

    Deadline for submissions is 26 February 2010.

    LUX is a UK-based arts agency which explores ideas around artists' moving image practice through exhibition, distribution, publishing, education and research. www.lux.org.uk

  • CologneOFF VI - Let's Celebrate!

    By on

    CologneOFF logoCologneOFF VI - Let’s Celebrate!!
    Deadline: Monday, 5 April 2010

    In 2010, CologneOFF - Cologne Online Film Festival is celebrating its 5th anniversary - a good reason to try the new festival concept as a networked festival, including a networked jury, networked contributions and a series of networked screenings between September and December 2010 and beyond.

    CologneOFF - founded in 2006 by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne as a new type of film and video festival dedicated to art forms of film and video in a global context - is following a successful concept of a festival without a static location of its own. It does not last just 2 or 3 days a year, but is all the year everyday 24 hours available to the audience online and simultaneouslöy via physical screenings in cooperation with partner festivals.

    This independance of availabliity on one hand, and dependance on networking partners makes CologneOFF most attractive not only o the audience, but basically also to the participating artists/directors and their films and videos due to a lasting promotion, confidence and trust.
