Open Call closing date

For the second year we are pleased to announce our OPEN CALL to all artists working with video art, experimental film and filmed performance.

Artists are invited to submit their works

related to the subject of the seen and unseen, what is revealed and what is concealed.

The exhibition aims to explore not only what is captured through the lens but is interested in what is missing, lost or out of shot.

We encourage works that present an experimental approach to moving images. There are no limitations on length of works, format or date works were created.

What the moving image chooses to show and what it refuses to reveal.

Exploring presence, perception, and the unseen.
