galleries on contemporary media arts issues. In its third year, The
New Forms Festival 2003 will be held in Vancouver, BC, from July 30th
to August 1st, 2003.

The New Forms Festival will create an environment that encourages new
forms of media art to be created, experienced, and understood. The
theme for 2003 is "inter[se/a]ction", a response to the technological
and artistic convergence's that have been occurring in the fields of
arts, science and new media in recent years.

Call for Video-based Art
There are two facets to the video component of the New Forms Festival
this year.

The first is dedicated to exploring new realms of cinematic
experimentation: New Cinema

The cinematic heritage has become, by and large, based on
conventions.  However, new technologies, accompanied by new artistic
approaches, have allowed artists to break these conventions and
explore a new realm of cinematic potential.  New Cinema Performance
Artists are exploring the possibilities of creating, remixing and
performing cinematic works live, on-the-fly and often un-sequenced.
The traditional "shot" becomes a musical note in the composition of
the piece; mixing, uniting, and interacting with the surroundings and
accompanying sights and sounds. Cinema is no longer static, but
performable, unique, and malleable in the moment - whether it be in
the form of live performance, documentary, and/or audiovisual
remixing.
We invite you to submit your video works which illustrate some of the
characteristics of New Cinema mentioned above.  Audiovisual
performances are strongly encouraged.

The second video component is a screening room/lounge where any and
all interesting video art which explores the relationship(s) between
audio and video will be presented.  We invite you to submit your
video works, of any length or style, to this portion of the festival.
