Video Jam - Call for Film Submissions [1]
Video Jam [3] is an ongoing series of unique, experimental events which seek to explore and re-examine the relationship between moving image and live sound by commissioning sound artists to compose original accompaniment for short, contemporary films. Initiated from scratch by a very small team of emerging artists, curators and promoters, the events act as a catalyst in bringing together these two mediums to create a new, third entity to be witnessed as a live experience.
Video Jam has swiftly become an indispensable part of the arts and experimental events culture in the North West and beyond, providing an accessible critical forum for dialogue surrounding live sound and moving image. Since its inception in January 2012, the collective have hosted 30 unique, site-specific events within the UK and beyond, in venues as diverse as a Cathedral, a glass atrium, underground vaults and a music hall in the round, and have worked with over 300 artists including Jeremy Deller, Dieter Moebius, Soda Jerk, Phil Solomon and Ryan Gander.
