CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

This is an open call for applications from dance filmmakers, living and working in England to apply to our commissioning fund of £56,000 to make new single screen dance film or video for cinematic presentation.

This is a new ideas-led commission scheme which exists to create original, innovative screen dance on a budget appropriate to the concept. The total fund available is £56,000, the largest amount of commissioning funds South East Dance has offered to date, and artists can apply for any amount up to the total of £56,000 depending on their experience and the nature of the project.

We may support several films or one, based on the proposals that are submitted. Our task is to support the best ideas that we can realise on the budget available. We will endeavour to award artists the whole budget that they require to create their film and we are happy to discuss

co-commission opportunities should artists have some funding in place. We will work with an expert panel to choose which project or projects to support.

Applicants have the choice to submit either a written proposal or an audio-visual proposal on DVD. Please see our How To Apply guidelines for further information.

As part of our commitment to excellence, we encourage diversity amongst practitioners and audiences of screen dance. South East Dance welcomes proposals from applicants from every contemporary arts discipline; however we are looking for proposals that show clear choreographic intent.

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.

Rolling deadlines

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.
