The Camden International Film Festival is currently seeking experimental and new media works for the PANOPTIC sidebar section of it’s program for 2011. We’re looking for pieces from emerging or established artists which transcend traditional forms and give a fresh perspective on the idea of documentary.

In the past the PANOPTIC showcase has shown animation, sound, sculptural installation, video installation, photography, interactive works, experimental shorts and live performance and has collaborated with international arts organizations like the Binaural Nodar Compound in Portugal.   This year we are looking to expand our program by offering a program of experimental short films to be shown in the festival lineup and a gallery show of forward thinking artworks in emerging media.  Please spread the word and help us bring exposure to some amazing work!

 

Short Films: We’re looking for the best in experimental short films with a documentary focus. Please submit if you have work that pushes the boundaries of the traditional documentary form and is under 15 minutes in length.

New Media: In the gallery at Asymmetrick Arts, the CIFF is pleased to again be showing new media and interactive artworks which put a new spin on the idea of documentary. We’re looking for video and sculptural installation, sound, photography, performance, games and other forms of media which tell stories in novel ways to fill a gallery space for the duration of the festival.
