*CALL FOR VIDEO SUBMISSIONS* Title: Critical Media Film Festival Description: A film and video festival of theorized, historical, impractical, and experimental approaches to film production Arranged by: Graduate students from UCLA Film, Television, and Digital Media Department In association with: Mediascape: The Journal of the Critical Studies Program at UCLA Melnitz Movies in the John Bridges Theater Purpose: Merge media theory with production practice Need: Increasingly, media scholars make multimedia. Film production students are taught ‘high concept’ and discouraged to explore complex philosophical questions. This film festival will celebrate the media producing philosopher and philosophical media producer. Example Submissions: We encourage eclectic submissions that cross disciplines and blur genres. Submissions should be intellectually challenging but not obscure. Examples include: a moving picture essay on any topic in cultural studies, a voice-over deconstruction of a behind-the-scenes episode, a reflexive documentary on a television program, or an aesthetically experimental exploration of the relationships between vision and cognition. Submission Schedule: Producers should immediately submit short or feature-length works on DVD with a short explanation and biography. The deadline is March 1, 2007. Authors of selected videos will be notified immediately. Your submissions will not be returned. Film Festival: Films and videos selected will be shown in the 250-seat Bridges Theatre in a one-off festival on April 26, 2007. Mediascape will publish select videos, artist/theorist statements, and the film catalogue online in Summer, 2007.
