This is an open call from the trinidad+tobago film festival and ARC Magazine for all artists working in video art and experimental film to submit works to be included in the second annual New Media programme, supported by the Ministry of Arts & Multiculturalism of Trinidad & Tobago. Artists from the Caribbean and its diaspora, or artists who address these spaces in their work, are eligible to apply.
ABOUT NEW MEDIA
Avant garde and experimental film and video works have traditionally formed a part of the trinidad+tobago film festival. In 2011, the festival, in collaboration with ARC Magazine, presented New Media, a collection of ten artists’ works. These works explored a range of themes and issues, while pushing and blurring the boundaries between film and art. The 2012 edition of New Media will run for one week as part of the trinidad+tobago film festival, which takes place from 19 September to 02 October.
New Media highlights the burgeoning field of art that interrogates our contemporary experiences. Video art/experimental film has been at the forefront of contemporary art practices for the last four decades and during this time it is a medium and discipline that has continuously forged itself beside the advancements in technology and globalisation. It is now left up to the artist to determine the functionality of the medium and its new narrative(s). We welcome your engagements, concerns, conversations and wilds in order to establish a common ground and an expansive field of discourse where the present becomes a foundation for exploration, discovery and understanding.
