Looking for a Thai video artist/student of visual arts:
Short documentary and video collage on Buddhist death rituals (Chiang Mai)
The Department of Religious Studies at the
University of Bristol is carrying out a
comparative
project on Buddhist death rituals of Southeast
Asia and China. The project also involves the
visual
documentation of funerary rites. Last year we
filmed two rituals in Laos, which dealt with the
transfer of merit and objects to the vinyan of
the dead, peta and various other spirits. This
year the
project involves fieldwork in Chiang Mai (August
to October 2008) and we are intending to film
a complete sequence of a funeral rite (house,
procession, cremation in the temple, bone
collection...). The idea is that we first film as
much material as possible and then process the
data
in two ways:
1. Produce a 30 min film that is more
documentary-oriented and should serve as
ethnographic
teaching material for students in the UK and
elsewhere. Some editing will be necessary (Final
Cut
Pro etc.), but it is not intended for
professional purposes or public screenings.
2. Produce a more art-oriented video collage
(20-30 min) that mixes documentary features with
video art and sound. The format is here quite
open, but should be geared towards a culturally
and
artistically interested public that wants to know
something about Buddhist funeral rites. The film
is going to be screened (on TV-sets and large
screen) during an exhibition on 'Death rituals in
Buddhism' at various locations in the UK and
Germany. It could also be distributed on DVD to
interested people and institutions, or - in case
it feasible - shown at anthropological film
festivals.
The project has a budget for hiring the equipment
(high amateur to low professional standard),
cameramen, recording engineer and the
cutting/editing of the movie. The filming itself
will take
approx. 2-3 days and should be carried out in
Chiang Mai as the project is based there,
although -
if appropriate and feasible - Bangkok would also
be an option. We look for a Thai person who
has an interest in the project, has experience
with filming and can put together such a crew, is
capable of doing the editing him/herself and is
willing to develop ideas concerning format and
the appropriate location. A student or teacher of
visual arts/multimedia art who has experience
in documentary filming and more abstract video
art would for example be suited for the job.
Communication with the project members concerning
content and format is crucial, although the
final product is largely the employee's own
responsibility. We would either have to
communicate
in English, Lao/Isan or German. The project
budget is modest, but we can compensate the
employee's efforts appropriately (subject to
negotiation). As long the funding source of the
project is acknowledged, the film can also be
used for other purposes (final project at School
of
Fine Arts etc.) and presented outside the immediate project context.
I will be in Chiang Mai from August to October.
In case you are interested or know someone
else, please forward this message or contact me via email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks very much!

From: interfilm Berlin - Festival <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
interfilm Berlin &
Zucker.Kommunikation
CALL FOR VIRAL VIDEOS
Within the scope of the 24th International Short
Film Festival Berlin, between the 4th and 9th of
November 2008, the agency Zucker.Kommunikation
and interfilm Berlin will jointly hold
forward - international viral video award
the first competition for viral films at a German film festival.
Two prizes of 500,- ¤ will be awarded. One by an
expert jury and one by an audience jury.
Virals sought!
We're looking for films with a message. All
entries should be aiming to communicate either a
promotional, ideational, political or original
message. They cannot be older than two years and
should have already been successful at spreading
the net, or at least be on the way to doing just
that.
Whether they are promotional strategies or
propaganda, these messages of seduction and
conviction have long since been utilising virtual
channels to spread throughout the internet.
Videos are shown and distributed on film forums,
via email, in blogs and on video portals. While
the brand names and/or creators behind many
virals often like to remain obscure, others make
a point of them. What counts is originality and
humour; virals have to be good enough to traverse
the magical threshold of being forwarded. Word of
mouth advertising is (almost) the only thing that
counts.
We intend to bring international virals together
in one competition and find out which of the
nominated films proves to be the most successful
within the competition. In addition to this, the
artistic and creative aspects of viral production
will also be acknowledged by an expert jury.
The competition will take place within the scope
of interfilm's 24th International Short Film
Festival Berlin and will also be featured on
cinema screens. Following to a Keynote
presentation to be held during the festival week,
the contemporary viral and its potential future
will be discussed.
Take part in the competition!
Submit your film if
* it has been especially made for the internet,
* it was made with the aim to spread virally or
has already been virally distributed
* and it is either endorsing or opposing an
image, an institution, a brand, a product or an
idea.
Upload the film to a video portal of your choice
and then propose it on
<http://www.interfilm.de/viral-award_eng.php>www.interfilm.de/viral-award_eng.php.
You need only name the URL at which the film is
online if you prefer. AND you may also propose
films that you have not made but have discovered
in the net.
A jury will select the best virals from all
entries submitted, to participate in the online
audience election. Films will then be seen and
voted-for at
<http://www.interfilm.de/viral-award_eng.php>www.interfilm.de/viral-award_eng.php.
Parallel to and independent of that selection
process, virals will also be under the scrutiny
of an expert jury consisting of industry
professionals.
All films which make it to the online-voting
stage will also be presented on the big screen
during the interfilm Short Film Festival.
Entry deadline: 19th September 2008!

Interaction, Interactivity, Interactive Art
a buzzword of new media under scrutiny / Ein Schlüsselbegriff der Neuen
Medien auf dem Prüfstand
Conference organized by the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research.
at Ars Electronica 2008
on September 4, 2008, Brucknerhaus, Linz (AT)
Concept: Katja Kwastek
'Interactivity' has become virtually a magic word for the promotion of new
media and the media arts alike. The term refers not only to a certain
technology, it also stands for social concepts and visions ranging from
grassroots democracy all the way to consumer freedom. This imbues the term
with its broad-ranging impact, but also contributes to its dilution.
This year's conference of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute Media.Art.Research.
invites experts from different disciplines to examine the origins and
applications of the various concepts of interactivity. It questions the
extent to which interactivity should be considered a fundamental concept in
the social and technological, cultural and artistic context, or as an
outdated buzzword, useful only for the self-promotion of the different
fields.
--------------
Der Begriff der 'Interaktivität' erfreut sich als geradezu paradigmatischer
Schlüsselbegriff der Informationsgesellschaft im Allgemeinen wie der
Medienkunst im Besonderen einer großen Popularität. Der Begriff bezeichnet
nicht nur eine bestimmte Technologie, die - auch - der Produktion von
Kunstwerken dient, sondern steht für gesellschaftliche Konzepte und
Visionen, die von Basisdemokratie bis hin zu Konsumentenfreiheit reichen.
Diese Tatsache gibt dem Begriff seine breitenwirksame Schlagkraft, trägt
aber auch zu seiner Verwässerung bei.
Die diesjährige Konferenz des Ludwig Boltzmann Instituts
Medien.Kunst.Forschung. lädt ExpertInnen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen ein,
die Konzepte, Erwartungen und Anwendungsfelder, die mit dem Begriff der
Interaktivität verbunden sind, zu diskutieren. Sie setzt sich mit der Frage
auseinander, inwieweit Interaktivität als grundlegendes Konzept im
gesellschaftlichen und technologischen, kulturellen und künstlerischen
Kontext Bestand hat, oder ob es doch vorwiegend ein veraltetes Modewort ist,
das lediglich der eigenen Rechtfertigung der verschiedenen Disziplinen
dient.
