The 11th Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival is open for entries! The 11th edition of Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival takes place this year on 23-27 September. Set in North East England’s walled border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Berwick is a festival that’s serious about cinema in its fullest of senses, featuring film premieres and retrospectives as well as moving image installations and live performance.

With programming this year responding to a theme of ‘Fact or Fiction’, the Festival encourages film and moving image submissions of all types and lengths that turn a curious eye to the grey areas between fact and fantasy, documentary and narrative, journalism and propaganda.

The 3rd Annual Transient Visions: Festival of the Moving Image, will be held October 16 & 17, 2015, at Spool Mfg., an artist-run Art Space in Johnson City, NY.

The Festival serves as a venue to meet artists in this region and beyond, exchanging and sharing ideas, while developing mutual relationships.

In its third occasion, ARKIPEL will present the theme GRAND ILLUSION which departs from a film produced in 1937 by one of the world cinema masters, Jean Renoir. The idea of this film was coming from the book The Great Illusion, A Study of the Relation of Military Power to National Advantage by Norman Angell in 1910. The book was about humane criticism during World War I. Renoir and Angell’s idea was to look at how the problem of humanity in our civilization had been banished by conflict and political choices.
