1st Caszuidas Urban Screen Festival

September 4 - 5, 2009  –  Zuidas, Amsterdam

On Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September 2009, the CASZUIDAS Urban Screen Festival is taking place in Amsterdam. The CASZUIDAS Urban Screen Festival is a new international festival specially aimed at artworks for urban screens. The focal point of the festival is the contemporary art screen CASZ, which has graced the Zuidas, Amsterdam’s new office and residential district, since October 2007. With its mix of 80% art and 20% art-related programming and advertising, CASZ is unique in the world. The screen runs from six o’clock in the morning until twelve o’clock at night; the art it shows is part of daily life in the public space of the Zuidplein in Zuidas, Amsterdam.

Up until now, CASZ’s continuous programming has consisted of existing video work. For the first time, the festival is offering you an opportunity to make new work specifically tailored to the possibilities of this public display platform. CASZ is meant for a large, diverse audience of local and (inter)national enthusiasts as well as workers, neighborhood residents and a daily throng of train and metro travelers.

We would like to invite you to participate and send us your contribution specially made for urban screens on a DVD. The winner, chosen by a jury of professionals, will receive €5000. The festival also has an audience award of €1000.

– the deadline for entries is July 20, 2009
– there are no requirements as to length and subject matter; however, the works must be suitable for screening in public space.
– seeing as artworks on urban screens generally are shown without sound or, as in the case of CASZ, with the possibility of phoning in, we ask you to take these limited sound conditions into account. During the festival, the works will be shown with amplified sound.
– for other entry requirements, please see the enclosed entry form below
