hello! forwarding this to the list on behalf of the 8 fest---contact info below.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: The 8 Fest 2012
INTRODUCTION
The 8 fest seeks your 8mm, Super-8, 9.5mm or other small gauge film
projects (such as loops and installations) for our 2012 edition next January.
Films can be:
- Experimental, animated, personal, handmade
- Diary and essay films, documentaries
- Live performance and music mixed with film
- Films from everyday culture - historical footage, home movies
The 8 fest exhibits all work on film. Works selected for the festival, therefore, must be finished on small-gauge film
(8mm, Super-8, 9.5mm). We also exhibit blow-ups to 16mm of films that have been finished
on small-gauge (or unsplit 8mm pieces). We do not exhibit projects on video.
The 8 fest uses professional small-gauge projection equipment
including Elmo GS-1200 and ST-1200 models. Our technicians and
programmers have many years experience specializing in small-gauge
film formats and technology. The greatest care will be taken in
handling, previewing, and projecting films.
Submission forms online at
http://www.the8fest.com
DEADLINE:
September 1, 2011
GUIDELINES:
-No Submission Fee!
- First-time filmmakers, youth & under-serviced communities welcome!
- Submissions can be sent either on film or on a preview copy in DVD,
mini-DV or VHS formats. (Exhibition on film only.)
- Our New Works program is limited to work from the past 5 years, but
we’re always curious to include older work in other programs. Please
fell free to get in touch if you have older work you think we would be
interested in.
- Please include film/project description, artist bio and flexography.
- Artist fees (screening fees) paid to all selected films/projects.
Application requires the film/project be available for exhibition in
Toronto late-January 2012- Sound on film, separate sound CD/cassette
and live performance/narration available. For separate sound please
record the soundtrack so that it cues by starting Track 1 (or Side A)
at first image.
- For installations or performances: Please include detailed technical
requirements and any equipment needs. We have limited resources for
non-projection equipment (e.g. lights, multiple mics, etc.) - the more
information the better!
SPECIAL CALL for installations
- We’re looking in particular for installation proposals for work that
utilizes the Fascination Micro Machine viewer -- example:
