Open Call for Dance Films and Digital Installations - BIDFF #2Bucharest International Dance Film Festival (9-13 November 2016) invites film directors, choreographers, digital artists and other artists to submit their dance films and digital installations to the second edition of BIDFF. The deadline for the application is 1 September 2016. The competition is opened for fiction short dance films, documentaries, animations and installations with a prize pool of 3000 euro. However, off competition, BIDFF will showcase dance feature films, both fiction and documentary. In 2016 the theme of the festival is The Digital Body and welcomes films and installations that challenge the duality of essence and expression in the new era of digital communication and constant insecurity.
THE DIGITAL BODY Short curatorial statement #emotional #geopolitical #multi-sensorial #collective #subversive #mechanic #informational #activist #migratory The body is a matrix of data, emotionally encapsulated, defragmented and disembodied, in a constant flow of fake memories and super sensorial experimentation. Extracorporeal digital age is a reality that requires a network of information to replicate itself over and over again. Who are you in this environment and how do you deal with it? We are interested in promoting dance films (short and feature, fictional and documentaries), video and digital installations, talks and lectures that have a strong opinion on the way the body adapts to the era of informational chaos.
The Short Film International Competition Faced with the camera lens the movement of the dancers transforms into cutting edge art house films with a sometimes transparent and sometimes coded meaning, challenging the viewer to a playful exchange of information about social life, politics, extreme emotions, interesting places and oddly beautiful dance aesthetics. BIDFF encourages syncretism and dialogue between movement and the diverse existing forms of cinema, from the most traditional to experimental, animation, or video installations. Shorts of maximum 15 minutes will be accepted. Films should be produced in the last 2 years. A minimum quality of Full HD (1920 x 1080) is required for the exhibition copies. You can apply with a maximum of 2 films. Both can be taken into consideration. BIDFF will award 3 films and other special mentions.
The Digital Body Exhibition We will take into consideration artworks that respond to the theme of the festival - the digital body. We are looking for video installations but we will also consider sound installations, computer generated, augmented and video reality, immersive and interactive, micro digital sculptures and other forms of art. The Contemporary Art Gallery Galateca in Bucharest will host the exhibition. BIDFF covers accommodation and transportation costs for the selected participants. BIDFF will also provide all the technical requirements for the showcase to the selected installations. You can apply with a maximum of 2 installations and both can be exhibited. The installations should be completed by the time of the submission. A prize will be awarded to one of the installations by an international panel.
