Moves Festival 2010: Open call for entries

MOVES10: FRAMING MOTION | 21-25 APRIL 2010 | LIVERPOOL
OPEN CALL FOR ENTRIES
Deadline: Sunday 13 December

moves is now inviting artists to submit their work for inclusion in the 2010 festival programme.
moves10 expands the open call and welcomes screen-based installations as well as films and papers exploring movement through its context. The works must have been completed from January 2008 onwards.
 
THE THEME
Under the theme “Framing Motion”, the festival will explore how practitioners choose to frame movement through their choice of setting and context, viewed through the eyes of the director, choreographer, animator,... in defining the boundaries for screen-based works. These can be real worlds or imaginary, abstract, impossible or augmented environments defined by a specific visual intent. In looking at methods of capturing a sense of pulse and energy, we also investigate definitions of stillness. Rather than contradicting our central motif, it is the dialogue of pause-and-release through which motion occurs: capturing - if only for a moment - the essence of life ablaze.
