The second annual Haverhill Experimental Film Festival has just opened the call for entries. For the inaugural year, we had 200 submissions from around the world and chose 45 films. Each of the five screenings had a packed house of 60 people or more, including seven filmmakers in attendance. We are expanding the Massachusetts-based festival from two to three days (now seven total screenings), including five more awards, as well as taking those winners on a festival tour down I-95 starting in Boston and ending in Raleigh. $15 entry fee plus $5 for additional entries. 40-minute max runtime. Exhibition format includes Super 8mm, 16mm, and Quicktime. We are looking for films/videos that break boundaries and tear through tradition with elegance- works of art not particularly suited for a museum or gallery, but for a screening room. Check out the new website layout, online submission form, and mobile site. Online submissions strongly encouraged.

Oslo Screen Festival is an international festival for video art happening in Oslo every two years. This is a non-profit initiative started in 2008 by visual artist Margarida Paiva and producer Rune Sandnes. Both established and emerging artists are invited to send their work. The festival focuses on works that seek their own language through subjectivity and experimentation. The selected works will be part of the festival’s archive. Throughout the year the festival presents curated programmes in collaborative festivals around the world.

Oslo Screen Festival is now open for entries and would like to invite artists to send new video art works to the festival’s 4th edition in March 2014. The festival will take place at the cinemateque in Filmens Hus and other locations in the city. Please read the instructions before going to the online entry form at the bottom of the page.

Canyon Cinemazine #3
Call For Submissions
Issue No. 3 - Special issue on sound/music in experimental film/media
Deadline: November 1st 2013

The purpose of this zine is to reignite the discussion of underground and experimental video practice and theory, putting artists in the Bay Area in dialogue with the greater experimental community. It is a platform for art, ephemera, letters, jokes, as well as critical writing and insights into the ever-changing field.

We are asking for filmmakers, media artists as well as scholars and curators to submit artwork, film stills, letters, articles, interviews, ephemera, photos, doodles, recipes and anything else for consideration. We are open to a wide variety of formats, but please submit black and white submissions only to keep printing costs at a minimum.

The Chicago Underground Film Festival exists to showcase the defiantly independent filmmaker. Our mission is to promote films and videos that dissent radically in form, technique, or content from the “indie” mainstream and to present adventurous works that challenge and transcend commercial and audience expectations…if you suspect your film is “underground,” it probably is.

Founded in 1993, The Chicago Underground Film Festival (CUFF) is a year-round organization dedicated to the work of film and video makers with defiantly independent visions. Unlike many other “independent” film events our goal is not to imitate old guard, market-driven events such as Sundance but Instead to focus on the artistc, aesthetic and fun side of independent filmmaking. CUFF promotes works that dissent radically in form, content and technique from both the tired conventions of Hollywood and the increasingly stagnant IndieWood mainstream.
