Call out for short films and projections - Wirksworth Festival

Wirksworth Festival curator David Gilbert is calling for proposals for their commissioned programme for 2010 and beyond.
Thematically Wirksworth Festival will continue to explore the relationship between Art & Architecture, and over the next three years they want to explore the nature, meanings and uses (past, present, actual and potential) of buildings | indoor and outdoor space | public and private space

Film and Moving Image - A new strand to the Festival is film/artists' film and video, with two opportunities to participate:

1. An architecture themed short film salon for 2010
Film-makers and artists working with film and video are invited to submit short films (no more than 10 minutes in duration) for the salon. Films should deal with architecture and/or the built environment in some way and can be of any kind – fiction, documentary, experimental, live action, animation, 3D motion graphics … they need only be interesting. Submit your work for selection on DVD together with a short written proposal and c.v.

Deadline for submission of proposals: 9am, Monday 22 March 2010.

2. Projection works which interact with, intervene in or respond to architecture.
Film-makers and artists working with film and video or interactive media are invited to submit existing or proposed films or other works for showing as projections or installations. Works should interact with, intervene in or respond to architecture (real or imaginary) in some way and can be of any kind - live action, animation, 3D motion graphics, interactive media. Submit your proposal as a short narrative, or if you propose showing existing work submit it on DVD. Please also send examples of previous work, either on DVD or links to your website, together with a c.v. Funding will be available to selected projects.

Deadline for submission of proposals: 9am, Monday 22 March 2010.
