Strange Beauty Film Festival

www.strangebeauty.org
Deadline: November 15 2009

The Strange Beauty Film Festival is looking for striking short movies (30 minutes or less) that walk the line between terrifying normality and sublime fever dream. We're looking for works that make us wonder, gasp, shiver, and keep our eyes glued to the screen. Things that will come back to us days later and haunt us for years to come. We're tired of crap. We want movies that will draw us back into the mysterious, awkward, achingly tender world that keeps getting covered over.

Strange Beauty accepts works of any shape or form with running times of 30 minutes or less. The only requirement is that the work be strangely beautiful and/or beautifully strange. We are looking for stuff that strikes a chord, has an emotional impact, makes us think. If you feel your movie fits the bill, it probably does. We can't wait to see it.

All genres, subject matter, and styles encouraged.

Preview on DVD, exhibition on 16mm, super 8, mini DV, DVCAM.
