POPCORN
POW!
I appreciate a mix of the unexpected with a tried and true, old school favorite. I wouldn’t watch a movie without popcorn, but a dusting of wasabi powder definitely helps keep me away through the parts that seem never ending. I suspect the result of this next Call will NOT require wasabi. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mono No Aware
Mono No Aware is an international film event open to any person or group of persons making work that incorporates Super8mm or 16mm film format as part of that presentation. (Expanded Cinema) In previous years, 16mm film was blended with dance performance, Super8 with live spoken word/audience involvement, & multi-projections with live jazz/musical devices. This is not a film festival for film-makers, so much as it is an film event for everyone. They believe there is magic in seeing a film print projected, a presence a poet has when reading their own work, a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing music performed live. For these reasons they encourage live film with live additional audio/visual elements.
ELIGIBILITY: Open internationally. Dancers, Sculptors, Musicians, Theorists, Scientists, Athletes, Visual artists, everyone, AND Film-makers are encouraged to submit.
MEDIA: Entries are only be accepted on Super8 or 16mm film. FILM ONLY. No Digital Video.
DEADLINE: Nov. 9, 2011
NOTIFICATION: Nov. 14, 2011
ENTRY FEE: None. They believe that your time and effort are fee enough. But, if you would like your film and materials sent back to you it is necessary to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to get your items from Brooklyn, NY. (11211 zip code) back to your mailing address. Those of you who are submitting films from overseas, Canada, and Mexico you will need to include a International Money Order issued at the post office for the amount of $15 USD.
This event is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council, Inc (BAC) and by the participants of MNA filmmaking workshops. Mono No Aware is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization.
