SWAMP/FOTOFEST 2010 - OPEN CALL FOR SHORT FILMS!

Dec. 11, 2009 - Mar. 2, 2010

In cooperation with the 13th biennial photography festival FOTOFEST2010, Southwest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP) is extending a challenge to Texas filmmakers to produce a short film exploring the possibilities and challenges of 21st century life with an open call for submissions of short films (10 minutes max) on the theme of "The American Dream 2010: Visions of 21st Century Life in the USA and in all the Americas, from North to South," inspired by FotoFest´s focus on Contemporary U.S. Photography.

A distinguished panel of jurors will choose the best films from those submitted. Selected shorts will be screened at a special presentation at the prestigious Brown Auditorium at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston on Sunday, April 18, 2010 and receive a variety of special prizes. In addition, shorts will be considered for inclusion in the 34th season of THE TERRITORY (2010-11), SWAMP´s short film showcase series broadcast on Texas PBS stations.

The submissions deadline is March 2, 2010. Please send your DVD screener labeled with contact information to "FotoFest submissions," SWAMP 1519 West Main St. Houston, TX 77006. For more information about Fotofest2010, go to http://www.fotofest.org/
