A NEW FESTIVAL FOR INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM, VIDEO, AND ART OF THE MOVING IMAGE IN AMSTERDAM IS OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS! DEADLINE: AUGUST 15th!

THE AMSTERDAM FILM EXPERIENCE: !BREAKING OUT OF THE FRAME!

The Amsterdam Film Experience, an exciting new festival for international short film, video, and art of the moving image, will be taking place in Amsterdam from October 6-8, 2006. The host venue, Het Ketelhuis, is well known for its film exhibitions, new media forums, and events.

New media, multi-media, video art, experimental film, video-gaming … the boundaries between film, video, and other audio-visual mediums have become more and more blurred in the past few years. New labels have been applied in order to try and classify what is essentially multi-disciplinary. What many of these ingenious outputs have in common is film as their underlying language, their root or their point of convergence. What is more, many artists of varying backgrounds (visual, theater/performance, and music alike) have made use of film in order to reach a wider audience. Film is, after all, a mass medium.

We want to showcase short films by artists who often do not get the chance to present their work to a broader audience and create a venue that includes filmmakers, audio-visual artists, VJs, webdesigners, television producers, advertising creatives, musicians, as well as performance artists; and everyone else who seeks to be stimulated and agitated by film.

Our key categories are:

- Sound & Vision
- Guerrilla Techniques
- New Directions
- Narrative - Time - Space Continuum
- Crossover Animation
- Buzz, Clicks & Visual Chaos
