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.

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.

Your work should be a contemporary, cutting edge and socially engaged piece that can be presented as a live or digital performances, or a participatory event. We welcome proposals that use alternative models of presentations to include the disabled and immunocompromised, to encourage environmental sustainability, and/or to reduce air travel.

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.

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.

Open Call
Supergau is an imaginary landscape, a culturally primaeval landscape!
Supergau is temporarily limited and, during the festival, superimposes itself like a second layer over the existing topography of one of each of the five Gaue (regions) of Salzburg (Flachgau, Lungau, Pinzgau, Pongau, Tennengau)
https://www.supergau.org/

What is Supergau?
Supergau is freed from the supposed dominance of the city with its programmed cultural spaces, freed from municipal museums, theatres, cabaret stages, that need to be filled by a target audience. Freed from the concept of the public space because Supergau knows only landscape.
Supergau is surface and depth at the same time. Supergau has forest- and meadowscapes, mountainscapes, housescapes, asphalt- and concretescapes. All these and other landscapes can become a stage at Supergau, an artistic field of action. Supergau is a festival that takes place exclusively outdoors.

The biennial festival celebrated its premiere in Flachgau in 2021 and transformed Lungau into a Supergau for contemporary arts in 2023. The festival will continue in Pinzgau in 2025.

Supergau invites artists to take their time for the festival and therefore enables residencies in advance that offer the opportunity to work on site, conduct research and engage in dialogue. The entire creation process, the development of a Supergau dramaturgy and the joint development of content with the participants is an essential part of the festival. This Open Call marks the beginning of the Supergau, which will culminate in the ten-day festival for contemporary arts in late May/early June 2025.

What are we looking for?
– Artistic contributions outdoors
– Artists from various disciplines who will join us in exploring the question
of what the countryside can do as an art- and as production-space,
what the city cannot do and what new forms of encounter and dialogue
we can create here
– Artists engaged with the questions, problems and potentials of this
region
– Spatial art that can cover entire meadows, forests, lakes, squares or
motorways, for example
– Cross-disciplinary works that enter into collaborations with visitors,
residents, local initiatives or associations
Mixed teams with participants from fields other than art are possible (e.g.
from science, agriculture, health, education, crafts).
1 The province of Salzburg is divided into five political districts and one statutory city, the City of Salzburg. The districts are still commonly referred to as Gaue (as landscape areas). for contemporary arts

Locations
The third edition will transform Pinzgau into a Supergau for contemporary art. With its 2,641sqm, Pinzgau is the largest district in the province of Salzburg. The festival therefore focusses on the region between Krimml and Zell am See. The following towns are located in this area: Wald im Pinzgau, Neukirchen am Großvenediger, Bramberg, Hollersbach, Mittersill, Stuhlfelden, Uttendorf, Niedernsill, Kaprun and Piesendorf.
A connecting element is the Salzach river, which originates in Vorderkrimml and runs through all the villages in the upper Salzach valley. The Kitzbühel Alps in the north and the Hohe Tauern in the south (highest mountain:
Großvenediger, 3,657m) characterise not only the landscape, but also local life. It is a difficult balancing act between ecological protection and economic utilisation of the impressive natural area, large part of which is legally protected as the Hohe Tauern National Park. This makes it necessary for the submissions to deal with possible limitations and restrictions due to nature conservation.
The approximately 40,000 people in this select region live on just under 1000sqkm. Zell am See, with around 10,000 inhabitants, is the district capi tal of the Pinzgau. Primary economic sectors are tourism and agriculture.
As in many rural regions, the issue of emigration, land use and development, second homes and the effects of climate change on local life and (ski-)tourism also play a role here.
High water and flooding in the villages between Krimml with its waterfalls and Zell am See have led to an increase in protective measures, which are currently being worked on.
Even people from Salzburg often don‘t realise that the Pinzgau region has a natural border with Italy. This arduous passage over the Krimmler Tauern was one of the escape routes for Jewish travellers to Italy in 1947 to escape the persistent anti-Jewish climate and set off for Palestine via Trieste.
As in most rural regions of Austria, the local brass bands and folk cultural organisations are firmly anchored in the culture. But there is also room for regional museums and initiatives with venues for contemporary art and culture.

APPLICATION DOCUMENTS
The remuneration will be processed in the form of a grant from the province of Salzburg.
All required documents must be sent as a single PDF file to kultur-wissenschaft@salzburg.gv.at
by Sunday, 12 February 2024, 23:59 at the latest.

The required PDF with a maximum number of eight pages and a maximum file size of 10 MB must contain the following information:

– Short outline of the project (max. five sentences explaining the essence of the project. The short description is for publication on the Supergau
website)

Remuneration
The total budget for the Open Call is 220,000 euros. Together with a jury
of experts, the artistic director selects projects that can apply within two
categories:
A. up to € 15.000,–
B. up to € 30.000,–

These two categories are purely indicative and say nothing about the quality and importance of the individual artworks. The categories play no evaluative role whatsoever in the programming, supervision and realisation and are not mentioned even after the judging.
The lump sums stated above must include fees, production and performance costs as well as travelling expenses. These amounts are gross amounts. It is expressly pointed out that the province of Salzburg, as the organiser, attaches great importance to „fair pay“ (www.fairpaykultur.att) and that the calculations are explicitly assessed in this respect. Fair, ade quate remuneration for all participants is one of the selection criteria.
Supergau provides accommodation and meals for a maximum of 2 people per collective / group during the residencies and invites all participating artists to stay overnight in Pinzgau for the entire festival period (in May/ June 2025) (flat-rate accommodation allowance per group).
Applicants are welcome to bring in additional funding from outside sources to support their proposal. The application is open to individuals, groups, or ensembles at any stage of their career.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
Supergau offers further support during the preparation and duration of the festival as well as professional marketing and press work.

Supergau will take place at the end of May 2025. The preparation period begins with the official announcement of all participants from the Open Call in May 2024.
