OPEN VIDEO PROJECTS
OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Season 2
www.openvideoprojects.org
Open Video Projects (OVP) is a video archive currently based in Rome,
Italy which facilitates screenings throughout the city in conjunction
with a weekly appointment at the Blueroom evening at Rialto
Santambrogio, a contemporary cultural center in Rome's historic
district; Blueroom features a dynamic mix of live experimental
electronic music, a rotating DJ line-up, live video-mixing, site-
specific video installations and 3500 cm² (a weekly exhibition of
poster art specially designed by a contemporary artist for free
distribution at the event). There has been overwhelming public
response with over 1000 guests in attendance each week. (www.blue-
room.it). OVP’s participation in large scale cultural events exposes
the public to work it would normally not see, as well as provides a
unique form of visibility for the participating artists and filmmakers.
For its second season of screenings Open Video Projects is looking to
expand its international network of artists working with film and
video. All artists working in these media are invited to submit work
to be part of OVP. All submitted materials will be evaluated for
inclusion, however, only selected pieces will be screened. Lorenzo
Benedetti and Sarra Brill are responsible for the selection of all
video entries and will curate the weekly selections. All submitted
materials will be collected in a searchable database, accessible on
the program's website, www.openvideoprojects.org In addition to the
database, the site will feature a program guide, screening times, and
links to
websites of participating artists and filmmakers (if provided).
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING VIDEO-WORKS

We like to, but within limits -- if they're plain-vanilla ASCII
text only,
yes; if they're JPEGs and MS Word documents, no. Nettime is an old-
school
mailing list.
Cheers,
