SUBMIT YOUR WORK NOW to the world's premiere showcase of experimental found-footage and appropriation film and video art! Sponsored by Los Angeles Filmforum!

Since its inauguration in 2009, the Festival of (In)appropriation has emerged as the premiere international showcase for experimental found-footage film and video, attracting artists working across an array of moving-image media as they probe the limits of collage, machinima, re-mix, détournement, mash-up, and more.

Co-curated by Jaimie Baron, Greg Cohen, and Lauren Berliner, and sponsored by Los Angeles Filmforum, the Festival of (In)appropriation invites submissions for its 9th edition, to take place in February of 2017.

Filmmakers and video artists engaged in the appropriation, re-purposing, and productive “mis-use” of existing visual and sonic media are encouraged to send us their work for consideration. All entries must include some form of inventive (in)appropriation, whether of existing/archival film or video footage, sound recordings, still imagery, or digital media. The most competitive submissions are those which seek to produce revelations and reconsiderations of the relationship between past and present, here and there, truth and lie, intention and subversion.
