« Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival 2013 – Call for Submissions

The Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival (VIMAF) invites new works in media arts from Indigenous media artists of Turtle Island and abroad.

This festival has been brought to you by the letter R.
Remix. Reflect. Resonate. Remain.

2013 is already becoming an historic year for Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island and the world. The Indigenous media arts community is thriving, and with the rise of the grassroots social justice movement Idle No More to the last National Event from Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission in September, 2013 promises to be a pivotal year.

The theme of this year’s festival is the letter ‘R.’ The festival’s four-word tagline speaks to a culture of appropriation and sampling, a practice prevalent in the digital and electronic dance music scenes globally as well as in popular media, and a growing community of artists, makers, and leaders. We encourage you to submit works which reflect the words in our theme, or to explore your own R word.

The Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival (VIMAF) invites new works in media arts from Indigenous media artists of Turtle Island and abroad, including but not limited to:
– Film

Important consideration will be given to new works. VIMAF showcases works created by an Indigenous person in a key creative role as director, writer, producer or artist. VIMAF pays artists for their work according to current IMAA and CARFAC fee schedules.

VIMAF will accept submissions post-marked on or before July 15th, 2013 for our free deadline. Works post-marked on or before September 15th, 2013 must be submitted with a $20 processing fee.
