With the success of DIVFUSE Sound Archive calling for sound-based work with field recordings elements, we are excited to be launching a new Open Call on short films.
Theme for this first edition : Domesticity
Deadline for submissions : 28 March 2025
WHAT TO INCLUDE IN THE SUBMISSION:
1) Text on the each piece/series (300 words maximum). This shall include the name, year and duration of the work.
2) Artists’ bio (200 words maximum)
3) A link to the work. It could be a link to Vimeo for example but please do not send us the file to download.
4) Send the submission through by email to divfuse@gmail.com on or before 28 March 2025.
OTHER CONDITIONS:
1) Only digital versions are acceptable. Work can be fully digital or video finished Standard 8mm, Super 8 or 16mm films.
2) Only one submission can be made by each artist (or group of artists who work together).
3) The work or series of work shall be between 30 and 45 minutes long and can be made up of different pieces/parts.
4) Selected work will EACH be shown in multiple screening sessions for a weekend (Friday to Sunday) for free between April and June 2025 at Project DIVFUSE micro digital and multi-media art gallery, London. There is no payment to the artists but we will offer the following:
* micro gallery space (5m x 3m) for screenings.
* basic equipments for use for the screenings inside the gallery, including 2 x small Genelec speakers on stands, a Genelec subwoofer, a projector and a laptop to play the file(s) from.
* management of the exhibition including invigilating the space and promotion on social media.
5) Artists whose work is selected will have to make sure that the files reach the gallery at least a week before the exhibition. Additional information such as images from the work will also be required for social media posting.
6) If selected, digital files could be transferred over to Project DIVFUSE for use for the screening sessions for this Open Call only.
7) Artists who are based in London will be invited to do two or three sessions of artists talks. Both the screenings and the talk will be ticketed. ALL income from the screenings will go to the space to support the running of the project. Income from the artist’s talk will be split 60/40 between Project DIVFUSE and the artist. Again, this will help to cover some of the overhead costs for running and managing the events.
