    Art Center, a museum located in Sioux City, IA.
    This is an on-going program with no specific deadline; please submit works
    for the 2008-2009 program that begins this summer.

    Submissions are invited from all film and video-makers.

    This exhibition will present the only opportunity currently in the Siouxland

    Works will be shown on a large flat screen monitor set-up in an appropriate
    area of the Atrium with benches as seating. This space has high visibility;
    it is not an enclosed "black box" space. The program will present the
    film/video work of a single artist at a time. Sending older work is
    encouraged to provide this audience with an overview of a film/video maker's
    work.

    Include a synopsis of the film/video(s) submitted, technical details, and a
    brief biography if you wish, or a link to your website.
    Please submit all work on DVD-NTSC

    Please contact me if there are any questions.

  • 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival

    By on

    CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
    The more things change ?
    The 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival, March 2008

    The more things change, the more they stay the same. Governments
    come and go. So do coups. The West keeps drawing its ‘roadmaps’, but
    who’s driving? For some, having no elected government is a terrifying
    state of affairs. For others, it’s just business as usual.

    Change is not impossible. It’s constant. Nothing is permanent.
    Traditional wisdom ? especially in Buddhism ? says that time is
    cyclical, a rhythm of renewal and regeneration. But modernity’s clock
    is ticking. Its history is linear, irreversible, a path towards a
    different future. Will our history be one of progress, or will it be
    looped?

    Political, social, historical, biological, cosmic? What are the
    cycles that give shape to contemporary life? Can art interrupt them, or
    should it work with them, go along with them?

    The 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival is seeking films and
    other screen-based work that explores the rhythms and cycles of
    contemporary life. All genres and styles will be considered, including
    experimental film and video, documentary, art film, animation,
    machinima, etc.

    Experimental film is not just about technical innovation ? it’s
    about new voices and new perspectives. It’s about yesterday and
    tomorrow. It can articulate the furtive connections between the
    ordinary and the extraordinary, the personal and the public.

    BEFF5 is organised by Kick the Machine, Project 304 and the Thai
    Film Foundation, and is also supported by Multimedia Arts Asia Pacific.

    To submit your work, please download the BEFF 5 Entry Form here: http://www.project304.org/beff5/ and send it with your submission to:

    BEFF 5, c/o Jim Thompson Art Center,
    6 Soi Kasemsan 2, Rama 1 Road, Patumwan, Bangkok 10330 Thailand
    Deadline: Friday, 1 February, 2008
