Dear Frameworkers,
The deadline for entries to the Lucca Film Festival’s international competition is at the end of this month - 30 July 2007.
The Lucca Film Festival which takes place for the third time this year (28 September- 6 October 2007) is an annual celebration of independent and experimental film & video featuring 9 days of screenings, lectures, conferences and performances.
After having hosted greats like Kenneth Anger and Stephen Dwoskin in 2006, this year we are presenting a retrospective of Canadian filmmaker, painter, sculptor and musician Michael Snow; together with a retrospective of the cinema of French artist and writer and founding member of Situationist International Guy Debord. We are also presenting a retrospective and exhibition of works by the New York film-maker and Intermedia pioneer Aldo Tambellini; and a homage to the 1967-founded Italian Cooperative of Independent Cinema. Last but not least, we will also screen a series of films that have been central to the critical activity of 'Cinema & Film', a revue which played a ground-breaking role in the history of film and film criticism in Italy.
Special events include a twin-screen video performance by Steven Ball and Martin Blazicek, screenings of a new documentary on Kenneth Anger by Antoine Barraud, “River of Anger”, shot last year in Lucca, as well as new videos by the current Lucca Film Festival Artist-in-Residence Riccardo Iacono.
For the international competition programme we are looking for independent and avant-garde artist’s films and videos completed in the last two years.
So, if you are a film or video maker, please send your tapes or DVD’s of recent works for preview and consideration to the address below.
Further information on eligibility and regulations are on the Lucca Film Festival web-site: <http://www.vistanova.it/> www.vistanova.it
Looking forward to receiving your work!
With Best Wishes
