ROOFTOP FILMS IS ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS
FOR THE 2005 SUMMER SERIES!
Submit your movies! We are currently accepting films for the 9th annual Rooftop Films Summer Series. The 2005 Summer Series consists of 16 shows, one every Friday night all summer long from June 10th through September 9th plus a special show on Monday, the 4th of July. All shows take place outdoors in New York City: either in parks, along piers, on boats traveling around Manhattan, in historical locations, or -- best of all -- on rooftops overlooking the city. Since 1997 we have worked to build a wildly diverse community of filmmakers and movie lovers, and our loyal audiences have grown to the point that in 2004 more people saw short films at Rooftop than at the next three largest short film festival programs in New York combined.
So if you are interested in having your film shown to large crowds in some of the most spectacular urban open air venues for cinema in the world, submit your films now.

ABOUT ROOFTOP FILMS
Rooftop Films is committed to providing a venue, an audience and a community for the wide array of short films and feature length documentaries that are under-served by conventional commercial distributors, industry-run festivals, art galleries and repertory theater retrospectives. We show comedies, dramas, experimental shorts, animation, music videos, short and feature documentaries, political exposes, home movies and found footage. We want motion pictures that tell us about where you live and how you live, and we offer our filmmakers an audience in some of the most unique and inspiring open-air theaters to be found anywhere. We seek independent movies with original ideas, regardless of production values, and we screen the work of experienced professionals, long-time amateurs and first-time filmmakers alike. We also strongly encourage submissions by women and people of color. We show films of all genres, formats, and lengths, as long as they're daring, creative and unique -- so submit your work now.
Many of our programs are organized around themes, regions, sexual orientation, race and gender. Past programs have included:
New York Non-Fiction
Home Movies
Films from the African Diaspora
Animation Night
Women Make Movies
Rural Route
World Documentaries
The Un-American Film Festival
Music-Themed Films
Youth-Produced Films
Midnight Movies
Regional programs from the Midwest, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest.
Rooftop Films also encourages curators to send entire programs of films. In the past, other festivals, venues and programmers from around the world have hosted nights of their movies as part of the Summer Series. If you have a program of films which demonstrates the work being done in your community -- be it regionally-based, ethnically-based, aesthetically-based or thematically-based -- send it in. We want to work with other groups who want to show off their unique cinematic visions. Please visit for detailed information about submitting a curated program.
There is a recommended submission fee of $7.00 per filmmaker or curator, so you can submit as many films as you like without paying additional submission fees. The fee can be made in cash or as a check or money order payable to Rooftop Films, or you can pay via PayPal through a link on our website.
If you are sending films from outside the USA, we would prefer that you pay online via PayPal. Please do not send us any foreign currency or checks.
Please download a 2005 submission form and include it with your submission along with cast and crew bios and any other information you would like to give us about your film.
If you have any questions regarding submissions, please email Dan Nuxoll, Programming Director, at .
We look forward to seeing you and your movies on the roof.

Univ. Wales, Aberystwyth seeks proposals, deadline Jan 10, 2005
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:
Towards Tomorrow?
An International Gathering Exploring
7-10 April 2005 Centre for Performance Research
University of Wales, Aberystwyth, Wales, UK
theatre X performance
Let's purge this choler without letting blood:
This we prescribe, though no physician;
Deep malice makes too deep incision;
Forget, forgive; conclude and be agreed;
Our doctors say this is no month to bleed.
King Richard II Act 1, Scene 1
Call for x,y and z
(where z = Discussions, Provocations, Polemics, Experiments, Manifestos, Papers, Confessions, Screenings and Demonstrations)
As part of the programme of this event there will be panels addressing aspects of performance and theatre that relate to broad themes of risk and failure, the future and generations, events and institutions and practice as research.
There will be a 'platform, soapbox, and propaganda' station 'In Extremis: Fundamental(ist)s of Performance', for the promulgation and dissemination of extreme enthusiasms, radical obsessions, pristine lies and rotten truth. It will be a space to present ideas contemporary, anachronistic, contentious and conformist.
A programme of 'talk back' sessions are planned where artists and performers address scholars who have explored their work; reversing the direction of enquiry and facilitating dialogue between practice and criticism.
We encourage proposals to lead enquiries relating to the concerns of this event, either following the themes suggested below, or generating different areas of enquiry. Also proposals for individual presentations or papers within these panels are invited, each should include a 300 word abstract for a presentation of 20 minutes duration.
Possible themes may include:
'Before the age of Performance'
'Transformation/Transmission/Transmutation'
'The Weave of Performance'
'Staging Play: The Future of the Field'
'And where were you on the evening of...?: Artists and Practitioners interrogate Theorists'
'The Dangers of Failure: risking performance'
'Disturbing Performance'
'The Doing, Re-Doing and Undoing of Performance'
Please send proposals and/or abstracts, or register interest in 'talk back' or 'fundamental(ist)s' sessions by 10th January 2005,
(we will respond by 24th January) to Dr Daniel Watt ,The Centre for Performance Research, Unit 6, Science Park,
Aberystwyth, SY23 3AH, Tel: + 44 (0)1970 622133, Fax: +44 (0)1970 622132 dpw@aber.ac.uk
At this major gathering of key practitioners and scholars from around the world the conference programme will comprise:
Performances - from Wales, Europe and beyond
Expositions - understanding the state of play
Workshops - drawing from the crucible of cutting-edge practice
Panels and Debates - to challenge and cultivate new directions
Interrogations and Enthusiasms - Strategic 'open' sessions
Feasts - where food becomes event
Excursions - taking advantage of our local landscape
As The Centre for Performance Research (CPR) celebrates thirty years of work, this conference will build upon and extend the dialogues and debates that CPR has forged over its long journey from research laboratory to research centre.' Towards Tomorrow?' will examine the complex relation between performance and theatre: the past, present and future of 'performance' and 'theatre' and their aesthetic practices.
CPR's anniversary publication Testimony from the Future, Evidence of the Past will be launched at this gathering and a complementary publication is planned to emerge from Towards Tomorrow? with a range of international contributions that seek to reorient the discipline of performance and to demonstrate its increasing relevance in many areas of cultural studies, philosophy and the arts.
Towards Tomorrow?
Temporalities: Then, Now, To Come
Then: Theoretical discourse has structured and transformed the environments of theatre and performance. Towards Tomorrow? provides a FORUM for both a critical reflection on performance and the nature of cultural theory and to assess its future both beyond and within the academy.
Now: The event of performance, its practice and presence will be explored. There will be OPPORTUNITIES for practitioners to interrogate theorists and for the statement of radical agendas and manifestos.
To Come: The development of the future of the field belongs to another GENERATION. This gathering will not determine such a future, but it will be determined to keep open all possible transformations, evolutions and revolutions that may be on their way.
Trajectory
Towards Tomorrow? will explore the relation between theatre and performance, risk and failure, events and institutions to understand how the possibilities of performance, and the history of organisations such as CPR, might be considered?
Is there a fractal structure (a finite area bounded by an infinite distance) to the discipline, its manifestation as practice and its future, as yet unknown, transformations? What are the issues of survival: of a discipline and its practice, its organisations, and the relationship with the academy?
How does the spiritual aspect of performance - space, body, time and imagination - integrate and challenge both the formal and the theoretical articulations of work? Does such a consideration generate its own eschatology; if so, what is the apocalypse of performance?
Some Operations.....
Towards Tomorrow? includes In Extremis: Fundamental(ist)s of Performance a 'platform, soapbox, and propaganda' station, for the promulgation and dissemination of extreme enthusiasms, radical obsessions, pristine lies and rotten truth. A space to present ideas: contemporary, anachronistic, contentious and conformist.
Towards Tomorrow? will offer a programme of performances and workshops alongside numerous presentations of archive photographic and video material from theatre companies and performers from across the world.
The schedule for each day will include KEYNOTES (confirmed contributors include: Philip Auslander, Guillermo GÓmez-Peña, Jane Goodall, Dragan Klaic, Michal Kobialka, Jon McKenzie, Susan Melrose, Marion Pastor Roces, Freddie Rokem, ,Rebecca Schneider and Stelarc), PANEL SESSIONS, a PRACTICAL or RESEARCH ENQUIRY element and the opportunity for artists and performers, from key phases of experiment over the past 40 years, to 'talk back' to theorists and commentators who have addressed their work.
Questions of tomorrow must also be concerned with generations, the potential of youth and the energy and vitality it will provide performance in the future. Towards Tomorrow? will include Generation24 - Our panel of young practitioners of the future, from schools and colleges in Wales and internationally, who will observe and intervene in the proceedings with the interruptive urgency of the future's call.
Continuing the CPR tradition for high quality events staged in an individual way
Throughout the event care is taken to forge links between people and ideas and to create formal and informal opportunities for people to exchange information about current and future projects. CPR's long history of bringing together international performance practitioners and scholars in a potent spirit of debate/friendship, argument/opposition also serves as the occasion to highlight and focus work at the forefront of future developments in the field.
30 + 10: Throughout 2004/5 CPR will be celebrating 30 years of work
and 10 years in Aberystwyth.

Washington State seeks integrated media artwork, deadline Dec. 3
Brightwater Media Project
Culture and the King County Wastewater Treatment Division are seeking an artist or artist team to create an integrated media artwork for the Brightwater Treatment System. Brightwater is a large regional sewage treatment system designed to serve King and Snohomish counties in Washington State. The Brightwater plant site is located in eastern Snohomish County while the outfall site - where the clean water will enter Puget Sound - is on the western edge of the county, many miles away. The hope is that an integrated media artwork will conceptually bring the activities of these sites together. The artwork may creatively interpret information from Brightwater's numerous real-time and delayed data-gathering systems including the plant's process areas and naturalized wetland areas. Artists may also chose to incorporate images, sensory material or data collected from the adjacent salmon habitat, the Puget Sound, and the outfall. Applicants should have experience working with digital media. Budget: $250,000 [inclusive of design, fabrication, installation, travel and Washington sales tax]. This is a national call.
Deadline: December 3, 2004
