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 15 years, the Images Festival has exhibited and encouraged the
work of artists producing film and video 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.

Among the thousands of artists whose work has been featured in past
festivals: Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Zacharias Kunuk, Steve McQueen, Elida
Schogt, Robert Frank, Janie Geiser, Seoungho Cho, Shiho Kano, Phil
Solomon, Vera Frenkel, Matthew Barney, Pipilotti Rist, the Brothers

Call for Proposals


The fourth annual VISUALEYEZ will occur 23 to 31 May 2003 and will be
presented in site specific locations throughout the city of Edmonton.

The curatorial theme is the misplacement of intimacy.

Is it safer to connect with our romantic selves in an internet chat
room? Do we live in a world where sympathy has been replaced with a more
distanced empathy and therefore collectively mourn dead celebrities that
we have never met?  This detachment creates a situation where we can
instantly share the same emotional moment as millions of other viewers
but creates a type of formulaic individuality.

Artists will be selected based on how their work and/or practice
explores ideas that are relevant to the curatorial theme of the
misplacement of intimacy. Visualeyez 2003 will question if we have
misplaced our capacity for intimate relationships in a world where we
would rather interface with someone through voice mail, icq (instant
messaging services) and email than actual physical interactions where we
touch real flesh? Technology is often promoted to facilitate connection;
however, it attempts to provide this intimacy through an absence of real
physicality.

The official deadline is 18 October 2002 (postmarked) and the proposal
should include:

= A detailed project description or description of your work
= Artist statement
= Curriculum vitae and biography
= Video or audio tape, slides (max. 10), or other documentation of
previous work
= Technical needs and other assistance required
= Return postage (if you want things back)

exciting open/juried contemporary art exhibitions, installed within the
nationally recognized John La Farge sanctuary (c.1880) at the historic Newport
Congregational Church. The sanctuary's large open floor plan and 1000-person
seating capacity create a unique environment for artists to execute installation
artwork, performance pieces and works in new and experimental media. Abundant
wall space and a 60-foot ceiling height also provide dynamic opportunities for

for this project was provided by the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts and
by private donations.
