    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.

    extended play: a select international narrative-driven programme of short films and animations with unique visual style, which extend beyond the boundaries of traditional storytelling.

    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!
