    Mytilene, Lesvos, Greece
    Festival dates: September 24-6, 2010
    Deadline: September 10, 2010

    After the last years successful experiment the Alt-Ctrl-Del group organizes the 2nd Animation and Video Art Festival in the city of Mytilene at 24-25 of September. The concept of the Festival remains the same: The use of the space we live and move in, beyond any form of commercial exploitation.

    The Moving Frames Festival invites:
    1. The artists to send their works, old or new, in order to be presented in different spots in the city of Mytilene. This year we suggest the topic: In-formation (Submission deadline the 10th of September)
    2. Festivals, Art groups, Workshops, Non-profit Organizations that work with animation and video art to support and promote this year’s attempt every way possible and also to send us works from their archives in order to present their general contribution to the field of digital art.

    Same as last year, the Festival is not a competition. The invitation is open to every form of art that incorporates these concerns und uses digital technology (video-art, animation, experimental video, installations etc.).
    The video showings, accompanied by parallel activities, will take place in different spots in the city of Mytilene. The participants themselves will form their spaces.

    The 'Rencontres Internationales' reflects specificities and convergences of artistic practices between new cinema and contemporary art, explores emerging media art practices and their critical purposes, and makes possible a necessary time when points of view meet and are exchanged.
    The event aims at presenting works to a broad audience, at creating circulations between different art practices and between different audiences, as well as creating new exchanges between artists, filmmakers and professionals.
    It seeks to contribute to a reflection on our contemporary culture of image via a compelling program opened to everyone..

    In 2007, the Rencontres Internationales, which initially took place in Paris and Berlin, opened up to a third city: Madrid. The event constitutes a unique artistic and cultural platform in Europe for artists, professional networks and various audiences. The venues in the three cities are in particular the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, the Reina Sofia National Museum and the Spanish Cinematheque in Madrid.

    Mono no aware IV
    Sunday November 28th 2010
    Deadline November 5th 2010 (postmarked)

    Mono No Aware is not a film festival; its focus is the cinematic experience. Inspired by the unique qualities of live performance and viewing film prints, it encourages live music, theatrical performance, audio and additional visuals to accompany the film piece.

    You are welcome to submit. Mono No Aware is open to any person or group of persons making work incorporating Super8 or 16mm film format as part of that presentation. For example: blending film & theater performance, musicians creating a visual experience for their sound, & experimental filmmakers working with story tellers. Entries will only be accepted on Super8 or 16mm film. FILM ONLY. No Digital Video.

    Part of our purpose in having this gathering is to put an emphasis on the cinematic experience. Film & video are so easily accessible, you can watch something on a website, television, a home projector, or even your cell phone. For some filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. We believe there is a magic in seeing the film as a print. There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing. There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when you see a band live. For these reasons we are encouraging live music, performance, and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen. We ask that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance. Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.

    Embrace the film medium. Cut & splice found footage you picked up at a yard sale. Take all your unused footage from an old project and create something new with the unused scenes. Spend 50 bucks to shoot & process 100 feet of 16mm & make a 3 minute masterpiece with a friend's Bolex. Paint on the film surface. Go on eBay and pick up a dozen old reels for ten bucks. Run 10 projectors at once on a single screen. Splice, dice, paste, shoot, and do it all over again. Create visual poetry, colorful abstractions, a comedic narrative, a cinematic comet that will light up the space for several minutes and live in the minds of those there to see it in its pure state. While it's there, fill the audience's ears with a score nothing short of sonorous.

    In September 2010 we will offer a range of workshops to those interested in making work for submission. We also will have Super 8mm cameras & editing equipment available for rental from our home office, if you are interested please contact us to set up an appointment.

    Please send entries to the following address:
    MONO NO AWARE
    PMB # 303
    302 Bedford Avenue
    Brooklyn, NY 11211
    United States

    Selected film performances will be announced Friday November 12th 2010.

    programming themes:

    the core programmes that remain central to onedotzeros ethos are:

    wow + flutter: onedotzero, the pioneering home for exploring motion graphics, motion typography, visual code, processing, animation, digital and short experimental works.

    wavelength: dedicated to exploring visually progressive, music-driven moving image and music videos, including rarely screened promos and unofficial versions.

    plus many more still to be confirmed!

    this year, the festival programme will also reach out to explore the following new themes:

    utopia
    this years festival theme takes a utopian approach. in the past, when we pondered about the future, our visions were largely optimistic. the future was going to be a wonderful place, full of bright, new ideas and technology benefiting social harmony. the future is now here, however there is a propensity for doom and gloom. onedotzero wants the theme of utopia to bring a sense of adventure, hope and positivity about our future world to the festival! what is your vision of a better future?

    code warriors
    creatives are increasingly using computer code as a raw material to create generative, fluid and self-perpetuating moving image. this brand-new new programme will showcase the most imaginative examples of work in this field.

    robotica
    onedotzero has always been rather partial to our mechanical friends of the future, demonstrated over the years in the festival programming. we are now seeking robot-themed or inspired shorts, which explore the ethics and potential social effects of a world shared with robots or androids.

  • Lausanne Underground & Music Festival 2010

    By on

    Lausanne Underground & Music Festival - Call for entries
    Entry deadline: June 15th 2010
    Festival date: October 20-24 2010

    Only the films released between 2007 and 2010 will be selected for the competition (short or feature films). You are welcome to submit any other program for a screening outside of competition.

    What is «underground»?
    It is always easier for the filmmakers to decide if their film is underground or not. But to give an idea of what we are looking for, we think that underground films do not make any compromise to be made or to be seen. Underground films accept no limits, no censorships and always present an innovative point of view. The LUFF has been created after the New York Underground Film Festival, then its purpose remains the same: to support and promote films that push boundaries and break new ground -- that challenge, entertain and provoke.

    How to Enter
    Register your film online and send a preview copy of your film to the selection committee.

    Accepted format are:
    * VHS (PAL, SECAM or NTSC)
    * DVD (PAL or NTSC, any Region coding will be accepted)
    * DVD-R/DVD+R (PAL or NTSC)
    Note: DVD-R/DVD+R have to be burnt correctly so that they can be read on most of the DVD players. In order to do so, please burn your DVD at the lowest speed you can (1X 1’385Ko/s). Every film that has been badly burnt – which means that the DVD is unreadable or the picture quality is bad (pixels, image drops,...) will not be considered for the selection. Also, try to use good quality DVD.

    Every other preview formats will be refused.

    Each entry must be accompanied by
    * a completed entry form (photocopies are acceptable) per film
    * a press kit if available (the absence of press kit has no influence on the selection)

    Accepted screening formats
    * 35mm
    * 16mm
    * Beta SP PAL (no NTSC)
    * DVCam PAL, NTSC
    * Mini DV PAL, NTSC
    * DVD (PAL or NTSC, any region)

    A Note on "Category"
    Many works entered into the Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival defy easy classification, but it’s important for us that you check only ONE category for your entry. So please follow these guidelines:

    * If it is a documentary or animation, check one of those categories. If it’s not a documentary, and not animation, and it has a story, check narrative feature (for works 60 minutes and over) or narrative short (for works under 60 minutes).
    * For the purposes of our event, “experimental” is used exclusively for non-narrative, non- documentary works? If it’s not a documentary, and does not have a story, then check experimental.
    * If you feel that your film fits experimental and animation equally, we recommend that you choose animation.
    * If you don’t follow the above guidelines, we will re-classify your entry appropriately!

    Entry fee
    There is no entry fee

    Shipping the preview tapes or DVD
    Cost of shipping to the festival is covered by the entrant. Shipping must be prepaid. Collect or COD shipments cannot be accepted. Each tape must be marked with the title of the entry.
