ARTCROFT FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL

ARTCROFT FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL: Art and Community Artcroft Creative Center’s mission is to provide direct support to individual artists and the community. The Center's residency program allows literary and visual artists a rural and serene environment in which to work creatively without distractions. Support goes to the community via arts programming, collaborations, small venue presentations, and partnerships. Artcroft's (first annual) Film and Video Festival brings together these two aspects of their mission--the artist and the community--to celebrate the collaboration, the tension, the joy or the frustration of "Art and Community." We're looking for film/video works that depict an artist in a community, a community of artists, art saved by a community, a community saving an artist--whatever art and community means to you. An artist can be a painter, a violinist, a poet, a sculptor, a gardener, a composer, or a mathematician. A community can be a city, a borough, a block, a high-rise, a prison, a school, or a cooperative. We're looking for work about art and communities that transports, inspires, instigates, agitates, or does all the above. Documentary, Experimental, Narrative or Animation, up to 60 minutes. If you think that the jury might have trouble figuring out how your work fits into "Art and Community", please explain why you think it does!
