2011 Visible Verse Festival Call for Entries and Official Guidelines
On 20 January, 2011 by Heather Haley with 3 Comments
- calls for work, contests, festivals and other screening events
- Visible Verse seeks videopoems, with a 15 minutes maximum duration.
- Either official language of Canada is acceptable, though if the video is in French, an English-dubbed or-subtitled version is required for consideration. Videos may originate in any part of the world.
- Works will be judged by their innovation, cohesion and literary merit. The ideal videopoem is a wedding of word and image, the voice seen as well as heard.
- Please, do not send documentaries as they are outside the featured genre.
- Videopoem producers should provide a brief bio, full name, and contact information in a cover letter. There is no official application form nor entry fee.
Send, at your own risk, videopoems and poetry films/preview copies (which cannot be returned) in DVD NTSC format to: VISIBLE VERSE c/o Pacific Cinémathèque, 200-1131 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 2L7, Canada. Selected artists will be notified and receive a standard screening fee.
For more information contact host and curator Heather Haley at hshaley[at]emspace[dot]com or visit the website.
Thanks for helping spread the word Dave.
My pleasure. Who knows — I might even get off my butt and submit one of my own crappy videopoems this year. :)
Well, despite the scatological reference, or references, I look forward to viewing your videopoems. ;-)
