[spectre] FotoFest-Microcinema CALL FOR WORKS

[Patrick Kwiatkowski]

CALL FOR SHORT FILMS

Independent Exposure-FotoFest 2004
 
Microcinema International is pleased to announce a call for works for 
a special edition of Independent Exposure. 

In conjunction with FotoFest 2004, Microcinema will produce a short 
film and video series dealing with the subject of water. 

FotoFest 2004 will take place from Mid-March to Mid-April 2004 in 
Houston. The focus for the 2004 Biennial is water; water as global 
resource and inspiration for personal and creative expression. The 
three directions to FotoFest's exhibition and education programming in 
2004 are: 

The Global Perspective: Water as historical determinant of human 
settlement and a force in shaping the future, international politics, 
and economic development. 
The Community Perspective: Water and the quality of life, its 
potential for enrichment and destruction. This area will have a 
particular emphasis on cities. 
The Personal View: Water as a catalyst for individual expression and 
aesthetic and spiritual contemplation and creativity. 
FotoFest, Inc is a non-profit international arts and education 
organization, whose purpose is to create an international forum for 
the exchange, promotion, and public appreciation of photo-related 
work. 

FotoFest's programs bring together an international vision of art with 
a commitment to cross-cultural education and the strengthening of 
cultural resources in Houston, the United States, and around the 
globe. They are committed to providing a forum for the photo-related 
arts, past and present, and helping to improve education in Houston 
and the United States. 

FotoFest 2004 will take place from March 12 to April 12, 2004 in 
Houston, Texas. For more info: www.fotofest.com 

Microcinema's program will premier in Houston during Fotofest and then 
tour the world (schedule to be determined).
