Project encourages filmmakers and would-be filmmakers to get

* 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.

* Butterflies in the City - 05/30/2007
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=718
Despite the revolutionary ecological changes on the San
Francisco peninsula over the last 240 years, the city
abounds with spectacular native biodiversity, including a
couple dozen species of butterflies. Like many insects,
butterfly have co-evolved with specific plants in an ecological
co-evolutionary dance over millions of years. The Franciscan
bioregion is home to several locally endemic species, such as
the mission blue, which only lives on coastal bedrock ridgetops.
A subset of our native butterflies have adapted to some non-
native plants, including some weeds. Join us for an exhilarating
and beautiful ride through this fascinating subject.

Since February Stookey has been finding discarded objects at SF
Recycling & Disposal for an unconventional "junkestra" of pipes,
pots, oil drums, and more. The next step will be to create a
musical score and to bring in musicians for a professional
recording and a premiere performance in May.
