The screening begins at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, September 5th, with a brief intermission at 4:00 a.m., and ends at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 6th. The program draws from ATA’s long history and beyond of independent, underground, experimental film and video, with work by ATA’s global network of friends, collaborators, and artists. Pancakes at 6:00 a.m., plus free coffee refills!

  • Call for Submissions

    The Arts at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, a visual arts exhibition program, is planning a Spring 2012 program of experimental film and new media from the Middle East, North Africa, and their diasporas. Inspired by the Arab Spring and its potential for a radical redress of oppressive structures of power, the program explores ways in which power determines frames of social and cultural visibility. Drawn from work both invited and solicited through this call, the program examines marginalized subjectivities. Submitted work should address gender and sexuality, (cross) border identities, counter-cultural practices, or other experiences not commonly reflected in mainstream narrative films.

    This program is co-sponsored by Artist Television Access and the San Francisco Arab Film Festival. There are no limitations on length and no fees for submitting your film. For submission form and guidelines please send an email to menaexperimental@gmail.com. Deadline for submissions is Feb 1, 2012.
