As part of our Deep Space project, we are inviting expressions of interest from 16/8mm filmmakers to make a short film about Deep Time.
Our film call panel will choose 9 artists to make their short film; we provide 100ft of film (black and white or colour) and high quality telecine.
Timescales are tight - this is a chance to take a more spontaneous approach to filmmaking, with only one week for making and one for digital editing.
We hope you enjoy the challenge!
The films will be shown both in traditional screening environments (sound available) and also as part of ‘constellations within a sculptural film pod, touring festivals in the SW this summer. We are also hoping that the screening/location of films in the space will be controlled by our raspberry pi-based cosmic ray detector! Films will not be intervened on, but sound may not be possible (we ha r specially commissioned music which may be playing for example) and, when shown in the pod, films may only be viewed in clips/stop and start in random places, or viewed alongside different films (in a tryptic with other films for example).
Preference will be given to SW artists or those with a strong connection to the area.
This film call is being supported by Cinestar, LUX and Plymouth University Media Research. Funding support kindly provided by Arts Council England and Feast. Lux are providing distribution support.
