A CLEAN
start

I am moving temporarily.   In addition to being musicians, my husband and I renovate houses for resale; however, we haven’t owned our own home in about 10 years.  We have finally decided to buy or build.  But in the meantime, our current rental has turned into a haven for mold & mildew.  So, we’re starting fresh in a new, smaller house (& smaller kitchen).  It would be so much easier if someone would just find and renovate a house for me for free, eh?  I am always the dreamer.  But, this next Call really IS FREE, and it isn’t a dream.  This isn’t just for filmmakers…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mono No Aware. This is a really cool FREE way to stretch your creative streak even if film is not your normal media. Be sure to investigate this one…

Film & video have become easily accessible. One can watch content on a website, television, a home projector, or even a cell phone. For some artists and filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. MNA believes there is a magic in seeing the film projected as a print. There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing. There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing a band live. For these reasons MNA encourages live music, performance and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen. MNA asks that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance. Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Contemporary art that incorporates Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm or altered light projections as part of a sculpture, installation, dance, or expanded cinema performance. Submissions including digital projections will not be considered (i.e. HDcam, DigiBETA, DVcam, DVD) all moving images should be from an analog source.

DEADLINE: October 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Nov. 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: None. They believe that your time and effort are fee enough. But, if you would like your film and materials sent back to you it is necessary to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to get your items from Brooklyn, NY. (11211 zip code) back to your mailing address.
