CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
........................................................................
.....
* Call for Entries: CounterCorp Film Fest - Deadline- 07/02/2007
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=454
The 2007 CounterCorp Anti-Corporate Film Festival is seeking
submissions for this year's festival, which is scheduled to
take place from October 19-21 in San Francisco.
The CounterCorp Festival seeks a variety of U.S. and foreign-
made movies, feature-length and shorter works, and narrative
(fictional) and documentary films (including animation) in
both film and digital formats. Non-English films must have
English subtitles.
* The Lab -- Call for Submissions- Deadline- 07/13/2007
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=463
The situation of the artist in America is not one in which the
public is hostile to contemporary art, so much as it is unengaged
with it. The emerging artist is thrown back on her own devices --
"Why do I do this? For my peers, for those who care about art, or
for myself?"
What can we ascertain about why artists make work for themselves?
One answer might be that artists have a yearning to see what it
would look like, referring to odd visual juxtapositions, social
engagements, cultural interrogations, new ways of seeing familiar
things, political intrusions, or formal innovations. The curators
invite artists to submit works that use anticipation -- their own
and the viewers' -- as a means to see the world anew every day.
* CALL FOR ENTRIES - BIG BANG FILM FESTIVAL - Deadline-10/11/2007
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=771
We are pleased to announce the Big Bang Film Festival, a
celebration of exciting and inventive films in the Action,
Adventure, Suspense and Asian Action Cinema genres. We're
also looking for exciting documentaries of sports and athletic
events and activities. Extreme sports enthusiasts have
contributed some of the most entertaining video of death
defying speed, skill and daring. BBFF will showcase amazing
films, some classics, some classics in the making. Every
submission is featured as a rotating highlight on the front
page of the BBFF website and on our 2007 Submissions page so
that all of our filmmakers can link to their listing.

For the persistent observer, the private voyeur, or the

Winner of the 2003 Tony Awards for Best Play, Take Me Out is
a complex meditation on several themes suffused with a genuine
passion for baseball. Darren Lemming, the star center fielder
of the world champion New York Empires is young, rich, famous,
talented, handsome, and so convinced of his popularity that
when he casually announces that he is gay, he assumes that the
news will be readily accepted by everybody. It isn't.
