Outfest Platinum Series
Call for Entries
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Date: July 7 - 18, 2005
Deadline: April 1, 2005. No Entry Fee.
Following the critical success of "Sticky Bonds", programmers Kevin McCarty and Jose Munoz follow-up their Outfest Platinum Series debut with "F-". This is an international call for entries from the queer identified individual and/or collaborative.
Queers fail and often fail miserably. If standards are set by a horrific straight culture- a culture that feeds on reproduction and mediocrity how can we help but fail. We invited one and all to submit media that display, perform or just ruminate on queerness and failure, or failures of queerness or queerness as failure. We are interested in failures both large and small, sublime and gory. Think Pee Wee Herman busted at the porn theatre, Liz Taylor's marriages, Jack Smith stumbling around his loft, Valarie Solanas failing to kill Andy Warhol, all the dicks that failed to get hard in Warhol's movies, your own worst date, national elections that are won by Jesus Freaks and usher in brain dead tyrants, the joys of bitterness, the drama of failed ambitions, how the great have fallen, all your favorite lost causes, butch girls in awkward dresses, gay bars, being picked last for the kick ball team, your most flawed logics and worst impulses. We
want to be clear: we are looking for spectacular failures and keen reflections on queerness and failures, not BAD
videos.
Please submit work on VHS and DVD. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope for return of entry.
Send to
