CON-TEMPORARY Art Observatorium - Art of Freedom 2nd edition
Accepted works: videos (moving pictures, performance, etc) and still pictures (photography and all visual arts.)
Venue: CTAO Gallery - Lavagna, Italian Riviera, Northern Italy
Duration: three weeks
CAREFULLY READ RULES & TERMS: submission is free but a small contribution will be required only to participants.
In occasion of CTAO exhibition season 2023-2024, CON-TEMPORARY Art Observatorium presents "Art of Freedom - 2nd Edition", a collective art exhibition cycle that will be held at CTAO Exhibition Room in Lavagna, Italy.
FREE THEME: differently from all our group exhibitions, the cycle "Art of Freedom" is characterised by the absence of a leading theme, leaving total freedom to the artists, who are chosen on personality and contents, so that they can freely propose their most personal view, without fear of prejudices or censorship. This does not prevent them to freely take inspiration from freedom and to express in that sense. After all, art IS freedom, and freedom is a value that is always menaced, needing constant attention in order not to lose it.
The Wayuu Film and Video Show was born in 2008 as an initiative of young filmmakers worried about not having spaces for dissemination and exhibition of their work in La Guajira.
Alliances are quickly made between the Wayuu Women's Force Organization and the Jain Wain’juin Audiovisual Foundation (Venezuela).
The young filmmakers David Hernández Palmar, Miguel Iván Ramírez and Leiqui Uriana, with great interest and enthusiasm, show their first cycle of Wayuu cinema on the improvised screens of a wall of the town of Uribia, beginning the Wayuu Culture Festival First cycle of the Wayuu Film and Video Exhibition. Thus, this space was born to promote an exchange where communities, spectators and the general public could contribute critically to the achievements, as well as helping to recognize in us as Wayuu the possibility of telling our own stories.
YOKC. Fauna Fílmica" is not just a festival, but a resilient proclamation of Andalusian cinematic art that dares to swim against the mainstream current. Held in the iconic “Tramallol” space in Seville, this event becomes a sanctuary for creators who, with boldness and passion, depict critical, experimental, and profoundly authentic visions in their short films. In times where alternative voices are crucial, "Fauna Fílmica" emerges as the ideal space for auteur cinema and narrative experimentation to be not only seen but celebrated and valued in their true dimension.

THE HUECC FESTIVAL is a film festival that seeks through itself a space for the construction of new community film schools. It was born from the Homonimo project carried out in 2018 TO MAKE A FILM SCHOOL, a space where different Latin American audiovisual groups came together to lay the foundations to create a film school in Solano/Quilmes.
Currently, this initial experience and through the festival could give shape to the ARROYO SCHOOL, which brings together 40 boys, girls and young people from the neighborhoods on one side of the Las Piedras stream.
Everything raised by this festival is intended to continue with the community film experience and the future construction of the first community film school in Argentina.
All genres, formats and durations are accepted. A selection will be made for the best organization and programming of the Festival. We will take into account formal experimentation and aesthetic risk
We freely accept all kinds of short and feature films without restriction on the production date.

Making its second appearance at Whirled Cinema in London on Saturday November 11th (4-7pm), Noli Me Tangere is the festival for short films too experimental, too daring, too ‘amateur’ or simply too long for the mainstream circuit. Running an event every six months, we want to establish an independent network of our own that values cinema and creativity, outside of the corporatised events that have come to dominate the scene.
We are looking for short films that cannot exist within the framework of mainstream short film nights and festivals, for any of the reasons listed above.
We are currently looking to fill a roughly 2-hour long programme with a number of films; we want work in any length from 1 to 30 minutes.
The films will be screened before an invited audience of industry guests as well as the general public and fellow film-makers. The capacity for the venue is 60 people. Time permitting, you will be allowed a couple of minutes to introduce the work.
As this is a new event, we are not charging for submissions. All we ask is that you buy a ticket to attend (if possible!) if your film is accepted to help us cover the costs of booking the space and running the event and to contribute to future stagings.
From our next event we are running a social hang-out spot after the screening at the beautiful nearby bar CRAFT METROPOLIS, where like-minded filmmakers and fans can meet and form new fruitful friendships. The bar is only a 2 minute walk from the cinema.
If we’ve done our jobs right, people will know we are providing cutting edge cinema – but that won’t be the only reason they are coming. They are coming to be a part of something exciting, that stands for something.
We do not need DCPs or anything similar; all we ask is that you provide us a viewable copy of the film on whatever platform you choose or send us a copy via dropbox etc. If accepted, we will only require a clean, good quality MP4 or similar.
