Open Frame: Camden Short Film Fund

Born By A River launches Open Frame: Camden short film fund to support creation of a bold original fiction project

Production company Born By A River is accepting submissions from early-career filmmakers seeking to produce a bold, author-driven short fiction project, as part of an open call closing on 3 December 2025.

With funding and resource support from industry project partners and Camden Council, Open Frame is a tailored programme designed to support Black British filmmakers based in the London Borough of Camden at the intersection of disability/neurodivergence and/or from an underrepresented gender/sexuality. 

OPEN ART CALL: Oxford University Museum of Natural History

Oxford University Museum of Natural History is seeking to commission a work of contemporary art to coincide with the next exhibition, 34: THE CRITICAL RAW MATERIALS SHAPING OUR FUTURE. We use raw materials extracted from the earth in almost all of our technology, from tea cups to electric cars. These technologies, and the materials that make them, are critical to our ability to survive and thrive as societies. We are looking for work that explores themes related to the exhibition including: environmental cost of mining, labour and human rights, the green energy transition, geological processes, and human technology use.

Solf Silence

In the hush of winter, the world slows down.
Soft Silence looks to the moments in between: the fragile pauses, whispered transitions, and muted undercurrents that often go unnoticed.

This issue traces three poetic chapters:

  • Haze – veiled beginnings, fading contours, whispers at the edge of perception

  • Stillpoint – moments of suspension, inward turning, the quiet before change

  • Resonance – soft echoes, emergent forms, the lingering after-sound of transformation

We invite artists, writers, performers, and thinkers to engage with silence not as absence, but as a fertile ground — a space where new possibilities quietly take shape.
