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

Athens Digital Arts Festival 2025

The most pioneering and longstanding International Digital Arts Festival in Greece, Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF), proudly announces its 21st edition and invites visionary artists, thinkers, technologists, and innovators to join us in shaping the future of digital art. Mark your calendars for 2025, as ADAF returns with a powerful new theme: Simulacra. We are calling for cutting-edge proposals to be submitted by December 15th, 2024, at 2025.adaf.gr.

Simulacra explores the compelling intersection of reality and hyperreality in the digital age. As technology like AI and ChatGPT redefines our world, ADAF 2025 challenges creators to reimagine how we engage with and interpret this dynamic, and often surreal, reality.

How do we navigate a world where the lines between the authentic and the artificial, blur?
How do digital constructs shape our collective consciousness, social identities, and future landscapes?

ADAF Simulacra will be a transformative exploration of these questions, celebrating the power of digital art to re-envision the boundaries of reality. From the immersive to the uncanny, we invite creators to delve into the realms of hyperreality, virtual worlds, and synthetic experiences.

Are you ready to question the essence of originality, challenge perceptions of authenticity, and explore the symbiosis between technology and ecology in shaping a sustainable future?

This is your chance to be part of a bold and immersive artistic dialogue that spans 12 categories:

Video Art, Animation, Installations, Performances, Music, AR/VR/XR, Workshops, Talks, Web Art, Digital Image, Games, and ADAF Kids.
Let’s explore how art can reflect not only the world we live in but also envision the worlds we have the power to create
Join us in this milestone event as we dive deep into the Simulacra, where art and technology converge to reshape our present and reimagine the future.

Submit your proposals now and be a part of the 21st ADAF experience!
https://2025.adaf.gr/submission-entries/

All applications will be considered for inclusion in the 21st edition, both physical and online, which will take place in Spring and Fall 2025, respectively. Shortlisted artists will be notified regarding the status of their application and details about the possible presentation of their work in either or both festival versions.

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.

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.

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.

Call for entries

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

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).

(re)imagining Marco Polo’s journey by CIFRA & Art Night Venezia

CIFRA, a curated streaming platform for new media art, launches an open call celebrating Marco Polo’s figure and journey. Regarded as one of the pioneers in building bridges between East and West, we should not forget the influence of his travels and travelogues on the state of the world we live in, with European colonial expansion and capitalist globalization.

We are interested in new media artists’ existing works / projects.

As part of the open call, three artists will receive the CIFRA Award of 1500 EUR for producing a new work. The CIFRA Award will include three nominations: “Bridging East and West, North and South”, “New Ways of Seeing”, and “(Re)thinking the Media”.

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.

Please use for each submitted work a separate entry form.

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.

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 us

Since 1999 ‘mur.at’ operates a server farm in Graz (Austria) which is connected to the global network via ACOnet (Austrian Science Network).

The NETWORK ‘mur.at’ is a virtual, constantly expanding platform of artists and cultural workers from different sectors for the development and promotion of network culture, Web-Art, Sound Art, Software Art and Media Art in general. The INITIATIVE ‘mur.at’ is committed to technology development using Free/Libre & Open Source Software. Difference-forming media diversity, unrestricted flow of information and transparent knowledge transfer form the core content parameters of the NETWORK INITATIVE.

The TEAM ‘mur.at’ is organized as a self-administered, non-commercial company and forms the infrastructural basis (backbone) for the work of the ‘mur.at†COMMUNITY at a high technical level. ‘mur.at†creates conditions and expands the possibilities for net art and digital culture. The COMMUNITY consists of artists and cultural initiatives from Austria and other countries who use mur.at‘s infrastructure, share its values and collectively create events and art projects on the NETWORK and in physical space.
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.

Timeframe: June 26-30, 2024.

The Anthropocene Project

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 Anthropocene Project as a new media art context in an exchange between virtual and physical space, physical and virtual exhibitions and screenings, is inviting artists using moving images/digital video as medium of art to submit videos dealing with the (positive and negative) human impact.

Please use the following entry form for submitting videos only which have not been submitted before and use for each submitted video a separate entry form.
