SUBMIT YOUR WORK
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.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
All initial submissions should be made either in digital format (for example, via Dropbox, Yousendit, FTP, Vimeo or personal secure online link), or in NTSC DVD format. Digital submissions should be sent to: newmedia@arcthemagazine.com with subject header stating: New Media Submissions 2012.
DVD submissions should be sent to:
Melanie Archer

Submitted materials will not be returned.
THE DEADLINE FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS IS 15 MAY 2012. THIS DEADLINE WILL BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED.

Harry Belafonte Film - Sing Your Song
The third in a 3-part series in which documentarist and screenwriter Wenty Bowen, explains why SING YOUR SONG is a must see for Caribbean and especially for Barbadian, audiences. Read Parts 1 and 2 here.
SING YOUR SONG will have its Barbados premiere as the Opening Night Film at the CaribbeanTales 2012 Film Festival at Frank Collymore Hall on April 11th at 6pm. Advance Tickets are on sale at http://CaribbeanTales-events.com for $35 ($40 at the door)
Overview
Belafonte’s compassion and ardor also drew him to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was only 28 during the Civil Rights movement and Martin Luther King was only 26, and the story is that Martin Luther King Jr. called to him first. So did Eleanor Roosevelt. He did organize a major effort by black leaders to reach out to Bobby Kennedy.
Though recognized with Grammy, Tony and Emmy® awards, Belafonte was blacklisted, harassed by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), spied on by the CIA and FBI, and threatened by the Klan, state troopers and Las Vegas mafia bosses.
After the assassination of Dr. King, Mr. Belafonte’s activism expanded far beyond civil rights for blacks, taking up the cause of Native Americans in the ‘70s. In the ‘80s, his activism increasingly shifted to Africa, where he campaigned against hunger and inspired the making of the album and the video of “We Are the World”. In the ‘90s, he goes to Haiti, in the 2000s, Iraq. He slowed down, but he kept plugging away at his causes. He took action to counter gang violence, prisons, and the incarceration of youth.
An HBO interviewer asked director Rostock why she ends the film with Mr. Belafonte, asking, "What do you do now?" Why end the film with a direct address to the audience? she was asked.
She replied: “I start and end the film with that message. The first few minutes are a rapid fire of where we are today and Harry talking about how he feels about that. And everything in his soul and every fiber of his being says: What do we do now? The idea was that you figure out for yourself what to do now, after seeing what had been figured out for you in the past. As Ruby Dee recalls in the film, Harry told her You need to find an assignment – I'm not going to give you an assignment. The film is designed to inspire young people to find their assignment.”
“Harry actually came to me with the film and we spoke for many, many hours. At one point, he took my hand, his eyes filled with tears, and he said, "I'm so worried that I'm not going to be passing the baton." At that moment I was reminded that when I was 15, I wanted to march with Martin Luther King from Selma to Montgomery. Now I have a 15-year-old daughter who is filled with the same passion and desire to change the world as I was, but with no leaders or organized movements to turn to. I thought that making this film would help to pass the baton and provide my daughter's generation with a roadmap.”
Perhaps the film might arouse similar emotions here.
