4th-WALL
is Prospect Art’s programming arm dedicated exclusively to video art. We are a network of international organizations, galleries, artist collectives, and not-for-profit artist spaces interested in showing and promoting international video artwork in the framework of a video art biennial.

We are looking for video works for our 2027 programming, “Change/Exchange.” Entries will be considered for physical exhibitions and screenings presented in Los Angeles, Lisbon, and Budapest, a series of online screenings on our BROADCAST program, as well as the publication of articles on our ONE WORK program that will provide critical context to the works included in the project. The organization of how the works will be presented and on what platform(s) will depend on the nature of the selected works and will be at the discretion of the curatorial team.

We will select existing video works that resonate with the curatorial statement (see below.) We are looking for emerging and established visual artists who work in the medium of video from anywhere in the world. The works can be experimental, non-narrative, or narrative so long they are in the realm of video art, are conceptually based, and relate to the theme of the show, curated by Prospect Art’s Curatorial Fellow Maximilian Lehner, with the technical support of Prospect Art’s 4th-WALL Program Manager Pedro Inock.

Single channel multi-channel works and video installations will be considered. Performance-based works that include video elements will not be considered, nor will video documentation of past performances or documentation of video installations.

In addition to submitting existing works, you may also submit a project proposal to produce a new work in response to the Change/ Exchange theme. This added $1000 COMMISSION opportunity will be awarded to ONE artist to produce a new single-channel video work that will premiere on-line during the 2027 4TH-WALL Biennial.

All selected artists will receive artist fees in line with W.A.G.E. guidelines.

Curatorial Statement:

Change and exchange are closely related, maybe similar in some ways, but a mere notion of exchange cannot capture change. Change might be closer to a gift, an investment without its effects visible during one’s lifetime. For many, the “pure” idea of a gift is located outside the realm of imagination and is often perceived as something that asks for immediate reciprocity. What does it mean, then, to give something back? Does this gesture fuel change, or does it perpetuate exchange?

Change/ Exchange is an invitation to reimagine change without exchange. Let’s amplify practices that bring forth notions of change that do not rely on economic exchange and bring out individuals who give or accept a gift without any expectations or who would appreciate the unexpected. There must be more space for ‘weak’ proposals and mysterious gifts that can subtly bring about change.

REQUIREMENTS

We will consider single-channel and multi-channel video works and video installations. Please provide us with a single-channel version of the project you want us to review (you can composite a two-channel project or create ONE video file with consecutive video works in case of multi-channels; please insert title cards when necessary: channel 1, channel 2, etc.).

Answer all biographical questions.

Multiple entries are accepted; please fill out one form per entry.

Complete new project proposal requirements if you also want to apply for the $1000 mini-grant.

We ask for a $10 administrative fee per entry to complete the application.

As a small artist-run not-for-profit, the fee helps us offset the cost of administering the open call (if the fee is not manageable, please email 4thwall@prospectart.org for a waiver.)

Artists need a PayPal account to receive screening fees and a mini-grant if selected.

Please use PayPal and send the funds to ProspectArtProject@gmail.com or use the QR available in the application form.

The 12th West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival
Dates & location of event context
April 10 – 12, 2025
Morgantown, West Virginia, USA

The West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival invites submissions in video/film, animation, VR, video installation & performance to its 12th edition, which takes place April 10 – 12, 2025 on the campus of West Virginia University. We’re looking for innovative, provocative, highly charged and deeply personal works in a variety of genres and exploring multiple themes. This year we also welcome submissions to a special thematic category, exploring new insights into evolving definitions and understandings of Space, in all of its many contexts. Deadline for entries is March 1, 2025.

Entry Fee:
Regular Entry: $12
College Students: $5
Students should be currently enrolled at a university or college and must send a current student ID (photocopy is fine) to: wvmsff@gmail.com.

SUBMISSION CATEGORIES: We welcome works in a broad range of styles and categories:

Experimental
Short Narrative
Documentary
Animation
Student Work
Theme: Space
Two-channel video installation
VR
Planetarium / 360-degree dome projection

Space Theme:
For this year’s themed category, we’re thinking about “space” – in all dimensions – physical, social, psychological, conceptual, philosophical, cosmological and local. The festival seeks submissions that ruminate on the many social, psychological, philosophical, and material meanings of space. How do we experience space, both architectural and natural, in a bodily way? How do we make space for meaningful dialogue that bridges ideological gaps? How does the fantasy of outer space offer the promise of new possible futures? How do digital spaces permeate our material lives? Are we “in space” or do we make it? How do war and peace shape it? What philosophical, psychological, spiritual or political resonances cause these layers of space to intersect and fold in on themselves? Indeed, how might our understanding of the very nature of space itself be shifting at this notably tenuous moment in human history?

Video Installation, VR and Planetarium Dome Projection:
In addition to single-channel videos for screening, there are 3 other opportunities to consider as part of the festival. These include a 2-channel video installation space, a VR experience option, and a 360-degree dome projection option.

Two-Channel Video Installation:
We are seeking proposals for two-channel video installations in a white cube gallery space. There are two 1080p projectors that can by synchronized with up to 2 channels of audio. The dimensions are 2122 square feet and a ceiling height of 10 feet.

VR:
We seek submissions that are designed to be experienced in virtual reality and that engage with the festival theme. Submitted works can take the form of VR films, interactive experiences, etc. Please reach out to Jason Zeh at Jason.zeh@mail.wvu.edu for technical inquiries.

360-Degree Dome Projection / Planetarium:
We are accepting submissions both for live performance works and single channel experimental works designed to be experienced in a 360-degree dome projection environment that engage with the festival theme. This event will take place at the WVU planetarium. More information about the space can be found at https://planetarium.wvu.edu/. Please reach out to Jason Zeh at Jason.zeh@mail.wvu.edu for technical inquiries.

Submissions for the planetarium must conform to the following specs: Codec: h265 (HEVC) (or h264 is fine as well); Container: mp4; Framerate: 30 fps; Resolution: 4K (4096 x 4096 pixel); Target bitrate: 40-50 mbit/s

To Submit:
Submissions may be made through FilmFreeway (https://filmfreeway.com/TheWestVirginiaMountaineerShortFilmFestival)
Or through our website/online submission form:
(https://www.wvmsff.com/submissions)

Dates:
Deadline: March 1, 2025
Festival Date: April 10 – 12, 2025

Agreements:
• Maximum running time of 15 minutes.

hungry eyes festival
a festival at the intersection of film, performance and installation art
October 24th – November 2nd, 2025, Gießen, Germany

the festival
For its seventh edition, hungry eyes festival is once again looking for artistic works that question film in
an interdisciplinary way. A program consisting of short film series and installation works will explore
what constitutes the medium film and how cinematographic elements and working methods can be
translated into other media.
Together, we want to examine the extent to which film can provide political or social impulses, how
films or projections can intervene in real existing spaces, which assumptions about (filmic) aesthetics
can be turned upside down or what the relationship is between a repeatable two-dimensional film and
an installation work with no time limit. From a ballet of overhead projectors, to an exhibition with
flipbooks, to a silent film screening with VR-glasses, everything is possible.

the location
In the upcoming edition, the festival will take place decentrally at various locations and institutions in
Giessen. We are working together with Kinocenter – the local arthouse cinema – and Trafo e.V. art
studio. Another exhibition venue will be a glazed room in the town hall with a window front facing the
centrally located Berliner Platz.
hungry eyes ist looking for your short films and installation works!
Apply until December 31st!

short film
We are looking for short films regardless of the year and country of production. We particularly
welcome submissions that reflect on the medium of film, deal with it in an experimental way, defy
formal categorization and/or see themselves as cinematic experiments. Commissioned works,
commercials and trailers are excluded.
Duration: maximum 20 minutes
Language: We welcome submissions in their original language. If this is not German or English, we ask
you to send a film file with subtitles (in German or English).
Playback formats: For the screening at the festival we can use physical media or download links.
Unfortunately, we cannot play analogue formats, but they can of course be submitted in digital form.
The short film program will be presented at Kinocenter Gießen.

installation
We are looking for installations that relate to film, image media, image spaces or projections in terms
of content and/or form and can be realized in one of the following two spaces:
Trafo: Trafo is a studio community and an exhibition space with a charming ambience. The exhibition
space located in the front area is visible from the street via a wide window front; it is approximately
1
5-6m wide and 2.5-3m deep, and the ceiling height is approx. 4m. At the rear of the showroom is a
1.5m wide staircase, which must remain unobstructed for safety reasons. Link to pictures: pictures trafo
e.V.
Pausenraum (Giessen Town Hall): This room is located on the ground floor and is part of the wide glass
façade of the town hall on Berliner Platz, centrally located in downtown Giessen. The room will not be
accessible all the time, which is why works that can be seen through the shop window from the square
are suitable here. The dimensions of the room are approximately: 11m x 4.5m. Height approx. 3 m. Link
to pictures: pictures Pausenraum
The provisional exhibition dates are currently 23.10-2.11 and include one day for assembly and one day
for disassembly. These dates are subject to change and will be confirmed soon.

Fee:
Short films: 150 EUR per film
Installations: 400 EUR per installation + 150 EUR per set-up and dismantling day

Affective Territories Alternate Belonging

Prospect Art’s 4th WALL—a network of international organizations that promote video works—is currently looking for video works for our 2025 programming, “Affective Territories, Alternate Belonging.” Entries will be considered for physical exhibitions in Los Angeles and Lisbon, and on-line screenings through Prospect Art, a not-for-profit arts organization based in Los Angeles. Selected works will be provided a screening fee and may be included in other opportunities within the network in the future .

We are looking for visual artists at any career stage that work in the medium of video from anywhere in the world.

Affective Territories Alternate Belonging

We are seeking video works that challenge traditional notions of belonging beyond colonial borders.

Laterale is an international non competitive Festival of cinematic art organized by Associazione Culturale Laterale. Its aim is to enhance the most innovative aspects of audio-visual languages of the contemporary scene and to reduce the distance between artistic research and public involvement. Particular attention is given to young and independent filmmakers and to self-made no-budget works, as result of individual search.

The eighth of Laterale will take place in Cosenza (Italy), at Cinema San Nicola, in August 2024. The Festival promotes a free and stimulating project of sharing, that shows what usually is neglected or rejected because of the distance from the conventional way to do and to interpret the cinema. A space that breaks down barriers and prejudices, massification and standardisation, a space that wants to become an artistic laboratory where it is possible to discover now the cinema of the future.
