I thought that you might be interested in including this in a future version of the announce list:

An artist run center that I co-founded in the small island town of Anacortes, WA just started an Artist in Residency program for "emerging" artists. There are no genre stipulations. Each residency lasts three months and culminates in a show/performance by the resident. The resident is given a studio, a bedroom with living amenities, and is expected to subsidize their stay by helping the other members of the Department of Safety collective pay heating and water bills ($50/month, $150/total). The Department of Safety is located in Anacortes, WA's old fire and police station. It is not a non-profit nor is any aspect of the project subsidized through outside funding. It sustains itself through collaboration with community members and individuals who believe in the project. The collective has been fundraising (like, bake sale style (not even joking)) for quite a long time to start this project. More information about the project and the A.I.R. program can be viewed here: http://www.departmentofsafety.com/art/air.html The deadline for the first application is postmarked by August 1st with a residual subsequent deadline every four months.

Thanks, again, for maintaining the Red Project.

Sincerely,

Flint.

Berliner Fenster & interfilm Berlin present:

"Going Underground 5"
5th International Subway Film Festival Berlin
01. February - 07. February. 2006

'Going Underground', from 1st of February to 7th of February 2005 Berliner Fenster in co-operation with interfilm Berlin will run the fourth International Short Film Festival for 'Ultra Shorts' in Berlin's underground trains. Those privileged to travel the Berlin Underground will find that their usual glassy-eyed 'underground-stare' will be awakened and entertained by a variety of short delights.

The three winning film makers will be rewarded with prizes of
1. Prize 3,000 EUR
2. Prize 2,000 EUR
3. Prize 1,000 EUR


This year to celebrate Going Underground’s fifth birthday, in addition to the official Going Underground Award with the usual 14 festival films, a second competition will be held featuring 7 additional films. Entitled ‘Renewable Movies’ the 7 films share the theme ‘Renewable Resources’.

The prize sponsor and co-initiator of this section is FNR e.V, a specialised agency for renewable resources, from the Federal Ministry of Consumer Protection, Nutrition and Agriculture.

FNR will provide the competition winners with the following prize money:
1. Prize 2,500 EUR*
2. Prize 1,500 EUR*
3. Prize 750 EUR*

The 4th – 7th prize-holders shall each receive a competition flat rate of 250 EUR*


Short films and energy from renewable resources – what do they have in common?

It’s perhaps hard to believe that so many of the things which surround us are made using petroleum. Clothing, cars, furniture, packaging. Each of these can already (or in the near future) be produced using other energies and other ingredients. Although the industrial nations’ dependence on petroleum will no doubt lead to an energy-countdown within the next 50 years, the problem is only registered on a sub-conscious level by most people. The debate on energy and resources gleaned from plants which can be (re)grown almost everywhere – instead of fighting over source enriched regions - therefore belongs in the forefront of people’s consciousness…

so what better place than the Berlin subway?!

Dependence and hope, but also botany and technical insight, innovation and research, wood-pellets and Bio-diesel. All that and much more in 90 seconds. Animation, drama, science- fiction or love-story, we look forward to your films and ideas.

Fred Kuhaupt and Heinz Hermanns (Festival Directors).


Renewable Movies

Heating with wood or making clothes out of hemp and linen aren’t exactly new ideas.
Since ancient times mankind has utilised renewable resources for energy production and material use. As the scarcity of fossil fuels become ever more obvious – especially petroleum –the alternatives offered by renewable resources increasingly engage public interest. In the meantime thanks to innovative processes it’s already possible to replace many modern products with conventional resources –disposable cutlery made from corn starch or foam mattresses out of sunflower oil are already on the market. Better known products include wood-pellets for heating and bio-diesel as fuel. The range of suitable plants is as diverse as Nature itself: trees, rape, poppies, corn, wheat, sugar beets, thistles, flax and many more offer sustainable alternatives.

Competition films should consider the possibilities which make renewable resources so important for the future. The emphasis could especially be placed upon the diversity of the plants, the resources gleaned from them and their varying roles. It’s important to show which chances Nature presents us with and to demand these be utilised!


Application & Information:
Application Deadline is the 15th of November 2005
Entries for the competition may be no longer than 90 sec., they may be silent and free of extreme violent or obscene content.

Public Furniture
'Public Furniture' is a newly coined word combining Public Art, a term used in the field of art, and Street Furniture, a term for urbanology. Street furniture includes not only existing street furniture like post boxes, phone booth, traffic lights, trash bins, benches, road signs, public bathrooms, and bus stops but also the visual culture of streets like billboards and neon signs. "Sculpture works", which belong to the Rest Area Equipment of Street Furniture, are also included in this category. Public furniture is street furniture manufactured in the perspective of public art. Thus, the 2006 Sea Art Festival will display street furniture manufactured in the perspective of public art on the roads and sidewalks of Haeundae Beach. Public furniture is not just limited to art, but rather, a kind of public art project open to architecture and design.
