| [Nettime-ro] FW: CALL FOR PROPOSALS - NEW MEDIA WORKS |
CALL FOR PROPOSALS - NEW MEDIA WORKS Apologies for cross-postings MONTREAL INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL NEW CINEMA NEW MEDIA (FCMM) 30th Edition October 11-21, 2001 http://www.fcmm.com Dynamic and inspired. Challenging and visionary. Provocative and groundbreaking. All these terms describe the Montreal international Festival of new Cinema and new Media (FCMM). Recognized for its bold, eclectic programming, the FCMM is a multidisciplinary happening that fuses mediums and genres. In keeping with its aim of promoting cinéma d'auteur, independent video, and creativity in new media, the FCMM is constantly on the lookout for new and original works. Innovation and exploration are the guiding principles of the FCMM's programming, which is divided into five main categories: feature film and video, documentary, short and medium-length work, performance and digital work. As a film festival, the FCMM has been at the forefront of the revolution in motion pictures and sound for thirty years. This year, the New Media section returns to celebrate its fifth anniversary and to once again tackle with new forms of artistic expression in the realm of digital culture. The Festival's Media Lounge as well as the cutting-edge Ex-Centris complex have already been the hosts of an astounding line-up of new media artists, hosting many well established acts while remaining a springboard for local and international emerging artists (see listing at the end of this email). In order to pursue its commitment towards the development of innovative ways of displaying and presenting works that integrate the use of new technologies, the New Media section of the FCMM is calling for proposals in two new categories: digital creation and performance. DIGITAL WORK/CREATION In its effort to join the realm of filmaking and digital culture, this year's digital work category will feature an international selection of works created on digital media or using digital image manipulation techniques. The FCMM is thus seeking creative works that expand the perspective of filmaking through the use of digital technologies. Particular consideration will be given to entries demonstrating audacity and novelty in their ability to create a happening and appeal to festivalgoers. Best Digital Work -CA$5,000 PERFORMANCE This category will showcase an international selection of performance pieces. Entries should be characterized by the creative, innovative and significant use of moving images, digital image and sound processing, and new technologies. The FCMM is especially interested in projects demonstrating innovative approaches to the presentation of interactive works and time-based artistic interventions. Particular attention will be paid to projects exploring new forms of narrative.
