Laterale Film Festival 2025
Cosenza Italy – August 2025

Laterale is an international non-competitive festival of cinematic art organized by the Associazione Culturale Laterale. Its aim is to highlight the most innovative aspects of contemporary audiovisual languages and to bridge the gap between artistic research and public engagement. Particular attention is given to young and independent filmmakers, as well as to self-made, no-budget works that result from individual exploration.

The ninth edition of Laterale will take place in Cosenza (Italy), at cinema San Nicola, in August 2025. The festival promotes a free and stimulating platform for sharing, showcasing what is usually neglected or rejected due to its departure from conventional approaches to making and interpreting cinema. It is a space that breaks down barriers and prejudices, resisting massification and standardization; a space that aims to become an artistic laboratory where the cinema of the future can be discovered today.

Rules

1) Films of all genres, styles, and narrative forms released on or after January 1st, 2023, are eligible.
2) Films must have a maximum length of 20 minutes, including credits.
3) Films may only be submitted via Filmfreeway.
4) Seven deadlines are provided.
5) The registration fee is non-refundable and is considered a voluntary contribution to Associazione Culturale Laterale for the event’s organization.
6) The film selection is curated by the festival’s artistic direction; notification of selection must remain confidential until the program is announced.
7) Once selected, films cannot be withdrawn from the festival.
8) Some frames from the selected films may be used for festival promotional purposes.
9) Selected films will be added to the Laterale Film Festival archive and will not be commercially exploited to protect the interests of the authors and producers. The organizers commit to using the films solely for cultural purposes.
10) Films submitted in previous editions and not selected will not be considered.
11) The festival’s direction reserves the right to include in the Lateral Selection films that slightly exceed the scheduled time limits but are considered significant for their artistic value.
12) Participation in the festival implies full acceptance of these regulations. The artistic direction has final judgment on any controversial cases.

VII International Bad Video Art Festival
December 18 & 19, 2024; Laboratorio Artistico Multidisciplinare Autogestito, Cosenza, Italy

The International Bad Video Art Festival (BVAF) is an independent, artist-run initiative. The Festival has been held since 2017. Video artists and B-movie fans Natalia Monakhova and Andrey Slaschilin once decided to explore whether something like bad video art exists. It is well known that B-movies have long since formed a unique cultural niche with their own heroes and fans. In other art sectors, however, the concept of “bad” has not been explored as actively.

We are looking for videos that are at the intersection of bad art, bad painting, and bad cinema. We propose to study extreme forms of video art and single out certain works as bad videos or “B-videos”. Join us if you are interested in the issue of quality and boundaries in art.

This year, the BVAF team is collaborating with L.A.M.A. — Laboratorio Artistico Multidisciplinare Autogestito from Cosenza, Italy.

We are looking for works that meet any of the following criteria:

Technically poor (low resolution, over-/underexposed, unstabilized, wrong focus, poor sound or no sound at all, bad editing, wrong color correction);
Lacking content (irrelevant, empty, shot just for the sake of it, without any purpose, idea, or concept);
Consciously/unconsciously exploiting the aesthetics of camp, trash, or B-movies.

When submitting an application, please explain why you consider your video to be bad. There’s no need to send a concept if you have one.

Submission and participation are free (as a non-profit, artist-run initiative, we are unable to offer any screening fees). We do not accept animation, videos made by people under 18, family home videos, or porn. We accept for consideration not more than 3 videos per artist/collective. A video must not be shorter than 1 minute or longer than 10 minutes (if it’s longer but undeniably bad, send us an email explaining why we should accept your video). As this edition is being held in Italy, we kindly ask you to add Italian subtitles if your video contains dialogue in a language other than Italian, or send us an SRT file so we can assist with the translation.

Open Call “Spin doctors”

Organized suppression of the climate crisis. Actors and their construction kit.

Exhibition in Berlin 11.10. – 22.11.2024, Tue. and Fri., 5-8 p.m.

In a public call for entries, we are inviting international artists to submit contributions for the theme described below: “Eye wiper. Organized repression of the climate crisis. Actors and their construction kit” for a group exhibition in our exhibition spaces.

Cognitive scientists have developed a toolkit called PLURV to help identify disinformation and propaganda in relation to the climate crisis: Pseudo-experts, logical errors, unfulfillable expectations, cherry-picking and conspiracy myths are all identifying features. Let’s expose PLURV!

One actor that promotes the suppression of the climate crisis is, for example, the Springer press. Their publishing house is largely owned by fossil fuel investors. The AFD and so-called “lateral thinkers” are also helping to suppress them. Narratives can be “It’s always been hot in summer”, “That’s a good thing!”, “Yes, just the weather”, “Fear-mongering and scaremongering”, “He who believes will be saved”, “Belief in man-made climate change is a substitute for religion?”.

In Germany, the CDU and FDP parties are conducting a textbook delaying discourse: they have no proposals. It’s really not about political ideologies, it’s about defending fossil business models.

Displacement leads to aggression against, for example, meteorologists on TV who receive hate messages. You only believe what you want to believe. Researchers talk about dissonant information being devalued and consonant information being valorized. The fact that humanity is in the process of destroying the foundations of human life with its way of life generates unpleasant emotions: Feelings of guilt, fears, sadness about the squandered future, the inevitable suffering and death. Cognitive dissonance, that is. Pseudo-information that suggests everything is not so bad can have a relieving effect.

Disciplines: object, sculpture, installation, photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, video with credits given, sound is possible. A performative contribution such as a performance, VJ or similar to the vernissage, artist talk or finissage is desired.

International works: letters and videos from non-EU countries.

We offer exhibition space with equipment, bar, advertising by mail and div. Websites and social media and web and print flyers, organization of the work texts, the lecture, the documentation.
We do not charge a fee for applications, exhibitions etc. We are a free, self-organized project space and work on a voluntary basis. For sent works, we ask that senders include the return postage. Unfortunately, there is no budget for production, further technical equipment, transport and insurance (the room is technically secured). We expect good cooperation and agree on rules of cooperation: https://gg3.eu/en/agreement-with-exhibiting-artists-2/

Individual artists or existing artist groups can apply online with max. apply for three works.

The presence of regional artists is desired for the vernissage and the artist talk, as is the supervision of the exhibition.

Deadline 26.8.2024, 24 h
Acceptance or cancellation until 5.9.
Set-up 10.10., 15-19 h
Vernissage 11.10., 19 h
Exhibition duration 11.10. – 22.11.2024

Q and A for calls by GG3
Q: Is there a way to review my submission to confirm it was submitted correctly?
A: This is not necessary if the submission has been accepted in the system and you have received a confirmation e-mail.

SIMULTAN FESTIVAL 2024
—Desire for the Useless

Dates & location of event context:
October 3-6, 2024, Timi?oara (Romania)

The 19th edition of SIMULTAN Festival will take place between 3-6 October in Timisoara, Romania – under the theme: Desire for the Useless.

In a world where simulations often replace reality, the line between useful and useless becomes blurred. Uselessness reveals the constructed nature of perceptions, prompting us to reconsider what we consider real or valuable. […]

The desire for the useless is not about pursuing uselessness. Rather, it’s about finding meaning in the seemingly impractical through creativity, critique, and insight. Think of desire as energy, not a void. When desire is free from the constraints of utility, it becomes a force that drives us towards new ideas and expressions, showing us that the useless has its own productivity.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We are looking for submissions of innovative video works related to the festival theme —Desire For The Useless, produced in the last two years (2022-2024).
The call is open for both, emerging and established artists or groups and collectives.

NUMBER OF WORKS / DURATION
A maximum of 2 works by one author can be submitted, with a duration of up to 10 min (each). There is no submission fee.

APPLICATION
Upload a preview version of your video to Youtube (can be unlisted) or Vimeo (optional with password) and include the link in the application form.
The video must contain the title of the work, the author’s name and year of production.

AWARDS
We do not consider this call a competition, but we will reward 3 video works with a 500 Euro artist fee, taking into consideration their idea and technical execution.

JURY
All works will be reviewed and selected by the festival’s curatorial team. Those accepted will become part of the festival screening program. The jury’s decision is final.
Selected works will be published after the event in the festival archive (to be agreed in the application form).

AVAF edition 5
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Theme: (Re) Cover Story

Daily front pages across platforms circulate crisis, desperation, and disasters, fueling division and despair. Our focus fragmented, analysis paralyzed, we struggle to discern urgent news from narratives designed to mask them. War, post-pandemic economic doom, scarcity, conflicts, inflation, deficit, unregulated AI, climate apocalypse, displacement and new wars broadcast a hopeless reading of our times.

Within these turbulent currents, can art recover our stories and be a healing device to envision possibilities, will, and connectedness? What potential does video art hold to reframe these realities? Addis Video Art Festival seeks works that examine these current conditions and related topics with open artistic input.

My 2024 Mail Art Project

The Project & its Background:
I once stepped into the elevator of a thirty-floor building, which had no 13th floor button. Seeing the order jump from 12 to 14, I thought, “This is weird!” Had some designer or engineer made an outrageous mistake? Noticing more cases—on airplanes, for instance—I discovered the practice is widespread. But for one whoâ€s had a good relationship with 13 right from birth, this makes no sense.*
N°13 is not just synonymous with bad luck. It symbolizes many things. Some even enjoy playing with the numberâ€s reputation by taking a tongue-in-cheek approach. Take Finlandâ€s National Accident Day, for instance, which promotes safety on the roads, at work and in the home. Its annual day of celebration is always Friday the 13th.

Whatâ€s your take on N°13?
Letâ€s share a laugh or a touch of dread. I invite you to put what you feel, think or believe about the number on a postcard and post it by Friday, September the 13th, using this address:

N° 13
Taivaanvuohentie 3 B 13
00200 Helsinki
Finland

Recommendations:
material must be child friendly // common postcard size (10 x 15 cm / 4 x 6 in) preferred //
media: free // no jury, no fee, no return // please include contact info (email)
All works received will be exhibited at https://postboxtomailboxnoplainart.blogspot.com and a
digital publication (catalogue) will postdate the project.

Questions: 4johngayer@gmail.com

*The paradox embodied in this tale is that the ‘dangerous†number hadnâ€t disappeared. Its digits had merely been reversed to identify the highest storey. Imagine, this thirty-floor building had a 31st floor.

Soundart wanted!

The Sound of Anthropocene

While Anthropocene (actually only proposed as a new epoch of geologic time, following the Holocene) is an officially not yet definitely defined period of time during which human activities are thought to have had a significant impact on the global environment, regarded as having begun sometime between twelve thousand years ago, with the spread of agriculture, and two hundred years ago, with the advent of industrialization, as a topic of the media art context of The Anthropocene Project, the term is going far beyond marking the contradictory relationship between (the volatile transitory character of) human nature and (sustainable) nature, the significant human impact on ecosystems, including the human-caused climate change, biodiversity loss etc.

Curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne, The New Museum of Networked Art realizing the Sound of Anthropocene Project as a new media art context in an exchange between virtual and physical space, is inviting artists using sonic art as a non-visual medium to submit their soundart pieces dealing with the (positive and negative) human impact.

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.

Affective Territories Alternate Belonging

Open Call – Forecast Mentorships
Berlin

Forecast has announced the six new mentors and its call for project ideas for the ninth edition of Forecast Mentorships.

Artistic practitioners and cultural producers working in all creative fields, anywhere in the world, are encouraged to apply to Forecastâ€s international mentorship program with projects that could benefit from the expertise of one of this editionâ€s mentors and their unique approach to material and knowledge production.

Send us your project ideas for the chance to work with one of the following mentors: Choreographer Alice Ripoll (BR), designer Fiona Raby (UK), photographer Lieko Shiga (JN), artist Theo Eshetu (UK), documentary filmmaker Tomer Heymann (IL), and composer and performer Ute Wassermann (DE).

The mentors in Forecast Mentorships†2024–25 edition push against the constraints of the practices with which they engage. They renegotiate the common definitions of their respective fields and experiment in ways that defy simple readings of their work.

The call is open to applicants of all ages and does not prescribe a theme. The only requirement is to submit projects that are relevant to the expertise of the mentor you wish to work with. Find out more about each mentorâ€s field of expertise and what they are looking for in a potential mentee on Forecast’s website.

The deadline for applications is 11:59pm CET on Monday, February 26.

About Forecast Mentorships

As an international mentorship program with annual editions, Forecast offers artists and creative thinkers from anywhere in the world the chance to work with accomplished mentors toward bringing their projects to fruition. Each edition of Forecast is different; the selected mentors impact the nature and content of every iteration. Forecast is not a grant. It is first and foremost a mentorship program meant to promote a deep transdisciplinary exchange and extend professional networks. If you are selected as a nominee and later, as a mentee, you will also receive an artist fee and production budget, in addition to support in applying to further collaborations and/or funding.

The selection process is two-tiered. First, the mentors carefully review all proposals and invite three nominees each to workshop with the mentor and present their ideas at the Forecast Forum in Berlin, taking place in July-August 2024. All eighteen nominees receive an artist fee. Following the Forum, each mentor will select one mentee.

Those six mentees will receive a production budget and a licensing and artist fee, and will have several months to produce their project with the mentorâ€s support. In addition to ongoing exchanges, this period also includes a one-on-one work-stay with the mentor at an international partner institution.

The final productions will be presented to the public at the Forecast Festival in spring 2025. The Forum and the Festival both take place at Radialsystem, Berlin. Travel and accommodation are covered by Forecast (if you apply as a duo or collective, note that Forecast can only cover the cost of one representative).

Forecast can only accept applications submitted in English via the online application form. Please consult the Guidelines and FAQ sections on Forecast’s before applying.

Forecast is a project by Skills e.V. It is supported by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.

mur.at – Open Call 2024 Artist in Residence Program
May 1 -June 30, 2024

We offer a couple of virtual and one onsite Artist in Residence at the net art & digital culture initiative ‘mur.at’ in Graz, Austria.
For whom is this residency?

This residency program offers artists / digital activists / researchers who work in the fields of digital humanities, media & net art, tactical and critical media / network studies an opportunity to develop new and adapt already existing artworks.

What does mur.at offer?

To the artists-in-residence, mur.at offers its infrastructure and possible assistance by the ‘mur.at’ admin team and the wider mur.at-community. Artists can involve the community in the research process, develop ideas together, collaborate with others and produce digital artworks. For the onsite residency in Graz (Austria), an appropriate accommodation in the ‘Künstlerinnenwohnung†located in the same building as the ‘mur.at’ headquarter will be provided.
What is the focus of the residency?

In 2024, ‘mur.at†celebrates its 25+ years anniversary. For this year we draw special focus on

Do-It-Together archiving strategies,
collaborative storytelling and different formats of
on- / off-line community participation.

The focus of the residency links into this yearâ€s overall activities.

The aim is to collaboratively document ‘mur.atâ€s†history by collecting and processing audiovisual material, stories, and (sometimes obsolete) technologies in order to create artistic projects with it. A group of local artists from the ‘mur.at†– community will elaborate on this topic throughout the year in continuous meetups. The residency project is expected to connect with those ongoing activities, creating links and engaging with the local community.

The residency will take place before and during the annual mur-worklab, organised as an “un-conference” taking place in Graz (Austria) in June 2024. It consists of theoretical and practical input sessions, such as public keynote speeches, discussions and hands-on workshops which center on the annual theme. The artists-in-residence contribute to the worklab with content-related impulses (demonstrations, lectures, etc.) which are related to their residency projects and/or their overall fields of expertise. The participants of the worklab will be of local actors and external invited guests. Outcomes from the residency and worklab will be publicly presented at the end of the worklab as well as in a permanent online documentation on mur.at-servers.

About the worklab format

For years ‘mur.at’ is organising worklabs as a core format within their yearly artistic program. Worklabs are “unconferences” lasting several days, to which open calls are invited. mur.at creates a temporary space in which local artists, technicians as well as guests and experts can discuss topics from the field of digital technology, art and their social implications. People from different fields and with different backgrounds meet and work together on ideas and drafts that become the starting point for future projects, publications and productions of the current and coming year. The worklabs are aiming to be both incubators for projects and open spaces for discussion where ideas, tools, practical and creative approaches are developed and tested collectively.

Open Call- “Wash my fur, but don’t make me wet”
Climate protection with displacement. Wash my fur, but don’t get me wet.

64th exhibition of GG3 3.5.2024 – 14.6.2024 Berlin
The majority of society wants climate protection, but does not want to change. It becomes nervous, susceptible to fossil lobby campaigns, superstitions and right-wing influences.
People are in favor of doing something about man-made global warming, but they still want to fly on vacation. One denies one’s own fossil addiction. The other countries, the politicians, should take action against the climate crisis. People don’t want to see their own responsibility as voters for political parties and as consumers of flights, cars and goods who cause CO2‚ emissions. Of course, something should change, just not in your own life. Science calls this behavior cognitive dissonance.
The artworks in the gallery and front garden are intended to refer to the generic term “displacement of man-made global warming, outside to the displacement of specific problems of the locations:
1. park path at the Waldemar bridge: Cyclists and scooter riders displace the driving ban in the park
2. park path south of the lake: the greenery on the walls is being damaged for graffiti. The sprayers suppress the importance of the climbing greenery for people.
3rd, 4th sidewalks near the stairs into the park: Litter is dumped or thrown down. The actors suppress the fact that the litter usually disturbs pedestrians and residents.
5th lake: The lake is over-fertilized due to the prohibited feeding of aquatic animals. The feeders suppress the adverse effects on animals, water quality and the plants of the lake.
Plan of the exhibition
6. and 7. works to suppress man-made global warming.
Exhibition in the gallery and front garden: Tuesdays and Fridays 5-8 p.m., on the sidewalk, in the park and on the lake two days each 4-6 p.m.

Deadline 29.2.2024, 24 oâ€clock

Climate protection with repression. Wash my fur, but don’t get me wet.
Buschhaus (C) T.A. Exhibition

Bush house (C) T.A.

64th exhibition in Gallery and Park 3.5. – 14.6.2024

Exhibition
in gallery: Tuesdays and Fridays 5-8 p.m., in the park Fri., 24.5., 4-6 p.m. and Fri., 14.6., 4-6 p.m.

The artworks in the gallery and front garden are intended to refer to the generic term “repression of man-made global warming”, outside to the repression of specific problems of the locations in the park.

The majority of society wants climate protection, but does not want to change. It becomes nervous, susceptible to fossil lobby campaigns, superstitions and right-wing influences.

People are in favor of doing something about man-made global warming, but they still want to fly on vacation. You deny your own fossil addiction. The other countries, the politicians, should take action against the climate crisis. People donâ€t want to see their own responsibility as voters for political parties and as consumers of flights, cars and goods who cause COâ‚‚ emissions. Of course, something should change, just not in your own life. Science calls this behavior cognitive dissonance.
Gallery

The works in the gallery and front garden refer to the generic term “repression of man-made global warming”. Locations 6. and 7. in the plan.
Park

Works refer to the displacement of problems in the park. Dates in the park Fri, 5/24, 4-6pm and Fri, 6/14, 4-6pm. Locations:

1st park path at the Waldemar Bridge: Cyclists and scooter riders displace the driving ban in the park.
2. park path south of the lake: the greenery on the walls is being damaged for graffiti. The sprayers suppress the importance of the climbing greenery for people.
3rd, 4th sidewalks near the stairs into the park: Litter is dumped or thrown down. The actors repress fact that the litter usually disturbs pedestrians and residents.
5th lake: The lake is over-fertilized due to the prohibited feeding of aquatic animals. The feeders suppress the adverse effects on animals, water quality and the plants of the lake.

Deadline: 21 May 2024

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.
