  • Festival Of Different Cinemas

    By on

    Festival Of Different Cinemas
    Paris, December 8-13 2009
    Deadline: August 20 2009

    The 11th annual festival is organized by the Collectif Jeune Cinema (CJC), French cooperative for the distribution and promotion of different and experimental cinemas.

    This year, the call for entries concerns two main themes:

    1) Filmic Texture/Digital stuff
    Experimental cinema has often used the structure of its component materials as subject matter or as a driving force. An independent practice has arisen, at odds with the commercial system: artist-run, do-it-yourself film labs allow filmmakers to develop and print their own work, protecting the freedom of production, both economically and technically. The same is true for video work that undertakes formal invention or research into its own nature. We are looking for films favoring celluloid or digital textures, or work combining these two media.

    2) Latin America: Experimentations from Mexico to the Southern Polar Circle.

    Any length and format are eligible: S8, 16mm, 35mm and video. All films in a language other than French must be subtitled in French. Short subjects carry the same requirement for French subtitling, unless dialogue or commentary is unnecessary for comprehension and appreciation. Each entry must be accompanied by a DVD Screener.

    Submissions must be postmarked no later than 20 August 2009. There ARE NO entry fees..

    IN ADDITION TO the festival, the CJC also MANAGES: A Distribution catalogue (Available on internet or by mail upon request).Monthly screenings of films from its catalogue, or by guest Filmmakers,Educational screenings,Quarterly publication of the magazine "Etoilements",The CJC is supported by The Centre National de la Cinematographie, DRAC Ile de France, Conseil Regional and The City of Paris.

  • Call for Submissions: INCITE! No 2, "Counter-Archive"

    By on

    Submit to INCITE!
    Journal of Experimental Media & Radical Aesthetics
    Issue No. 2: COUNTER-ARCHIVE

    Submission Deadline: September 1, 2009

    The concept of “COUNTER-ARCHIVE” will be focus of INCITE’s next issue.

    International contemporary art is currently in the grips of an archive fever. In recent years, more and more artists have been playing with/in the archives, opening up dynamic possibilities for counter-archival practice. In this formulation, the “counter-archive” represents an incomplete and unstable repository, an entity to be contested and expanded through clandestine acts, a space of impermanence and play. Taken as an action, the term entails mischief and imagination, challenging the record of official history. Employed as an artistic strategy it pushes our archival impulse into new territories, encouraging critique and material alteration/fabrication and emboldening anarchivism.  To counter-archive is to counter-act, to rewrite, to animate over.  In this age of draconian copyright law, the archive is rich with subversive potential.

    This issue aims at addressing practices of repurposing found sound and image in light of their particular histories and contemporary transformations in media economies and ownership.  It proposes the archive as a site for creative intervention, one that enables new possibilities for preserving and representing individual memory within a larger historical consciousness. In this strange moment of image excess and commercial limitation (due to the increasing privitization of archives by multinational corporations), we can all become archivists and micro-analysts of our shared sociocultural experience.  Equal participation in the constitution and interpretation of the archive is a key to counteracting the unseen hand of authority, and helps to invigorate successful content-sharing applications such as YouTube, Wikipedia, and Creative Commons.

    Texts, proposals, films + videos, online projects, and queries can be emailed to Brett Kashmere at [email protected]. We also welcome submissions (manifestos, essays, interviews, artist papers, etc) not connected to the organizing theme.

    For further information on our editorial policy and submission guidelines, please consult the “Information” section of our website (http://www.incite-online.net/informationweb.html).
