EXPERIMENTAL FILM AND MEDIA WORK

As usual, we are accepting experimental film and media submissions from local (British Columbia, Canada) and international artists.

Films of any length, format, year, screening history or premiere status will be considered.

Artists are welcome and encouraged to submit workshop proposals that coincide with their film's subject matter or material practice. Artists may also propose curated programs that feature or are based around their own work.

WORKSHOPS

Workshops will be presented primarily, but not explicitly, in conversation with our thematic programs and have the possibility of being presented in Vancouver BC, the artist's place of residence, and/or online, depending on funding and venue opportunities.

Artists are welcome and encouraged to submit curatorial proposals that coincide with their proposed workshops.

If an artist has submitted a film, they are also encouraged to submit a workshop proposal that relates to their film's subject matter or material practice.

No previous teaching experience is required to teach a workshop.

GUEST PROGRAMS

Artists are welcome and encouraged to submit workshop proposals that coincide with their curatorial proposal. This could be a workshop taught by the program curator that relates to the proposed program's theme, or a workshop led by an artist whose work is featured in the proposed program.

Artists may propose curated programs that include or are based around their own work; solo screenings or retrospectives that feature only one artist's work will not be considered.

No previous curatorial experience is required.

Proposals of workshop and guest programs at various stages of development will be considered, and in some instances XINEMA may work with the artist/curator to refine working concepts.
