Images Festival, Toronto, Ontario
Deadline Friday
November 17th, 2006
CALL FOR GUEST CURATORS:
The Images Festival has an ongoing open policy of reviewing
curatorial proposals from the public and this year we invite
curators to submit exhibition proposals for our 20th festival, April
5-14, 2007.
Images is the largest festival in Canada for
independent media, showcasing international excellence and
innovation both on and off the screen. From Super-8 and hand-tinted
celluloid to DV, performance and interactive work, we go out of our
way and over the edge to provide Toronto with an annual extravaganza
of image making.
For 19 years, the Images Festival has
exhibited and encouraged the work of artists producing film, video
and media art outside of mainstream commercial production and
distribution systems and aesthetic conventions. Images is committed
to an expanded concept of film and video practice: alongside its
film and video screenings, the festival embraces a wide variety of
practices, including performances, installations and new media. In
addition to the international competition programs drawn from
submissions to the festival, Images includes artists'
retrospectives, national and regional cinema spotlights, and special
curated programs.
If selected, the program will cover
artists' fees and a modest curatorial honorarium. You will
collaborate with our Artistic Director and programming staff to
finalize the program as well as on a promotional strategy to
maximize awareness of the program within the context of our 20th
festival.
Forward your curatorial proposal with your
CV/resumé and a cover letter to us: The Images Festival Attn:
Curatorial Proposal 401 Richmond Street West, Suite 448 Toronto,
