Call for works influenced by Busby Berkeley:
Dance On Camera Festival January 2009

Kriota Willberg is seeking clips from film, video, or digital media directly influenced by the camera work, staging, or choreographic styles of Busby Berkeley.  As a part of the Dance On Camera Festival, in the lobby of Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater, January 2009,  Kriota Willberg is presenting a short program on the impact of Berkeley's  penchant for crazy camera moves, sex,  elaborate staging, geometry, and stream-of-consciousness editing style on the work of mainstream, independent, and fringe media.  There is no budget, no stipend for the use of your media in this presentation (admission is free), but your clip will be credited to you, a part of the festival, and seen at Lincoln Center.  Clips can feature dancing, fights, inanimate objects, animation, live action, stop motion, you name it.  The more unusual, the better.  Copyright for media should be held by you.  I'd also welcome your contribution of found clips that are known to be in public domain.  Please contact kriota@earthlink.net

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Festival International de Vidéo Danse du Breuil
International Video Dance Festival of Le Breuil 

Video dance entries are now being accepted for the first annual International Video Dance Festival of Le Breuil, sponsored by the National Theatre of France and the City of Le Breuil (Burgundy). In addition, we are seeking dance photography submissions and a limited number of screen dance installations to be considered for an exhibition that will run in conjunction with the festival screenings.  While we are not accepting documentaries, any other genre or screen dance format will be considered, including works that may not traditionally be thought of as "dance", but capture a strong sense of the way images are choreographed on camera and/or the manner in which movement is navigated in a time-based medium.  The festival will take place in March 2009. 

All submissions must be received before November 5, 2008.  

For submission guidelines, please visit our festival blog at: http://www.videodansedubreuil.wordpress.com or contact us at: videodansedubreuil@yahoo.com

Mission
Frameworks seeks to provide a vital, consistent and supportive stage for presenting new works of dance film from across the country. The films will be chosen for their creativity within the cinematic medium and excellence in choreography with a special focus on smaller budget films that do not otherwise have the opportunity to be seen or appreciated.

Eligibility
We are seeking original works of choreography for the camera, less than 20 minutes in length, and created in the last five years. We have adopted a loose definition of "dance film" that includes any work in which the movement is paramount, and created specifically for the camera. Documentaries will not be considered.

Although the first screening in summer 2008 will be restricted to New York based artists and companies, the subsequent screenings will showcase work from everywhere. So please, submit now and your film will be considered on a rolling basis.
