Established in 1978, the CSIF is a member-driven cooperative that encourages and supports the production and exhibition of independent film. The CSIF celebrates its 30th Anniversary in October 2008, so watch for events listed on the website! CSIF is grateful for the involvement of its members, the network of artist-run cooperatives throughout Canada and for the financial assistance of its funders: The Canada Council for the Arts; The National Film Board; The Alberta Foundation for the Arts; Calgary Arts Development. Urbanity (deadline June 30, 2009) As part of a collaborative exhibition with Truck Gallery, the CSIF invites media arts submissions based on the theme of Urbanity. This project is intended to explore the facets of the city – as you define it. In keeping with our mandate, works submitted should use celluloid in either the production or post production stage – Super 8, 16mm or 35mm. This is an international call, open to any media artist working with film and urban themes. This project coincides with a residency in Truck Gallery’s TR:AFICC (Temporary Residents; Artists For Innovative Contemporary Culture) Project – where an artist literally labors in the urban environment and their studio is the epitome of urban life: the vehicle. The Camper (and the resident artist it encloses) will travel Calgary for the month of September, creating film-based work. CSIF and Truck will host weekly screenings during that month, with a selection of works from this call. Each night of screenings will take place in a different suburban location around the city and incorporate the guerilla, outdoor screening nature of the camper with the essence of this themed call. Join us in exploring our city, your city and everything in between. ELIGIBILITY · Media artworks with some use of celluloid (8mm, Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm) · Under 30min in length · Incorporate the theme of Urbanity in some way. Please find Submissions forms at www.csif.org To submit, send a DVD preview and the completed submission forms to: The Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers Urbanity Call - c/o Melanie Wilmink Bldg. J2, 2711 Battleford Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta T3E 7L4 Canada __________________________________________________________________ For info on FrameWorks, contact Pip Chodorov at <email suppressed>.
