.............................................................................

* 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.

* WHY ARE FAGGOTS SO AFRAID OF FAGGOTS?-Deadline-11/26/2007

   Flaming challenges to masculinity, objectification and the 
   desire to conform. *CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS*

   Free Market, we can provide more balanced and full lives for 
   everyone. As a community we have many more resources than we 
   do as individuals. If we share our resources we won't need

http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=607

   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.
