Frameworkers,
My festival in Houston launched a competitive call for submissions
for under-15 minute films that remix and transform NASA footage. The
three top winners will get prizes from $3,000 to $10,000, which is a
nice chunk of change.
Please do help get the word out to artists who should know about
this.
The website is here: cinespace15.ORG [1].
all best,
Richard

world a chance to share their works inspired by, and using, real
NASA imagery through “CineSpace,” a new short film competition
premiering at Houston Cinema Arts Festival, November 12-19, 2015.
Films featuring real NASA footage collected from over 50 years of
its history will be judged on the creativity, innovation, and
attention to detail that are the hallmarks of spaceflight. NASA and
Houston Cinema Arts Society will choose Finalist or “Official
Selections,” which will screen at the Houston Cinema Arts Festival
in November 2015. Other screenings may also take place throughout
the year. NASA judges will award prizes from the Finalist pool.

We are looking for Submissions that:
• Are based on innovative artistic presentation and storytelling.
