Call for Submissions: trans masc film and video art

The Otherness Archive is building a sustainable digital and publicly accessible archive, having received a grant from Arts Council. The first category of focus is dedicated to the trans masc experience, to be launched in October 2022.

This call for submissions is for trans masc video art, moving image work, and films to be included within Otherness Archives digital archive. This could potentially lead to requesting to feature your work in some of our future screenings (if so, you will receive a screening fee).

If you'd like to submit your work to be included ahead of our launch in October 2022, please submit your films and works by 31 July 2022, by providing a few details in this form: 

IPFF is on the path towards its third edition in 2022. Once again, we will celebrate short portrait cinema and art with the potential to explore, educate, and transform.

A portrait is an image heavy with meaning. Multilayered and multifaceted, it has a visual, psychological, material, emotional and spiritual dimension.

Unravelled in art, the painted, the literary, the photographic portrait is often perceived by the human mind as a still frozen in time. But, in fact, it has already undergone a transformation. From its true origin, through the consciousness that revives the brush, the quill and the lens, to the semblance that begins its life on the canvas and on the page. Imitation and repetition, but with endless potential for future metamorphoses.
