A maximum of one art piece per artist or collective, without any restriction of age, length, theme or language will be admitted; please, include Spanish and English subtitles when needed. The video must have been produced during the last year.
Selected works will be part of PROYECTOR2025 festival which will take place from September 10th to 21th 2024, maybe for a longer time in some of the venues. These works will be presented in the form of screenings or video-installations in the different venues with which the festival collaborates and they may be included in international curatorships we celebrate. They will be screened online during the hours in which the physical opening of the space is celebrated in the festival or the exhibitions.
Work formats accepted: single-channel, video installations (multi-channel, interactive, video interventions) and live video performances. “Not cinema normative” pieces will be positively valued (single-channel, 16/9, horizontal, HD-4K), Expanded Cinema, Analogue Experimental FIlms. Experimentation, the site specific and the relationship with the spectator, the body, the scale and with the space that holds the work are well valued.
