Motion Portraiture and Self-Portraiture: Cornell Cinema

Call for Submissions – Deadline: March 15, 2010

The Cornell Council for the Arts, Prudence Risley Residential College for the Creative and Performing Arts at Cornell University, and Cornell Cinema invite submissions of motion portraits and self-portraits for a curated screening.

Through this open call, we seek to uncover the full depth and range of contemporary portraiture and self-portraiture in time-based arts. Broad interpretations of “portrait” and “self-portrait” are welcome. Accepting all artworks which can be screened in video (including film, video, motion graphics, animation, programming, game interfaces, flip books, etc.) Due to scheduling limitations, works under 5 minutes preferred. Exhibition of the curated show will be at Cornell Cinema in April 2010.

Curated by Darren Douglas Floyd, Artist-In-Residence, Film and Video, Cornell University, 2009-2010 (web.mac.com/humiliated) with the assistance of Cornell University students.

Deadline: All entries must be postmarked by March 15th, 2010.
There is no entry fee.

Please send submissions as .mov data files on DVD to:
