International Video Dance Festival of Burgundy (France) Call for Video Dance Submissions
Deadline: January 8, 2012.
The International Video Dance Festival of Burgundy (France) is pleased to announce a new call for works in preparation for its forth festival in May 2012. The festival is a platform for short video dance (screendance, dance for camera) projects that explore the dynamic possibilities of movement created specifically for the camera/screen. Works will be selected by an international jury composed of professional artists and scholars involved in video dance.
The festival seeks video dance works less than 15 minutes in length for its official selection, which will be the featured event of the festival. Documentaries and live performance recordings are not accepted.
Please take the time to read our rules and regulations before submitting:
–please DO NOT send additional materials with your submission such as photos, press and other presentation materials. We are proud of our “blind jury”, that is a jury that chooses projects based on the quality of the work, not its reputation. Let the work speak for itself.
–all submissions must be video dance projects (no live performance recordings or documentaries).
–copyright is the responsiblity of the submitting artist (concerning use of music and other production elements).
–all films submitted must be under 15 minutes in duration, including credits.
