Given the continuing political climate, we feel
it is time for another protest song to be sung.
Upload and share your jam today!
Politically engaged music is not only a consequence of history or nostalgia,
but can be timely and pertinent commentary on our contemporary world.
Another Protest Song is a collaborative project which uses the social
networking space of the internet to archive and debate contemporary protest
music. The project went public in late May and has become a daily/weekly
growing archive with a number of original protest songs uploaded and shared
by you the user, and other ideological persuaders.
Fine tune your power chords, generate new lyrics and poetry, and set your
protest to song.
To upload, listen, and comment, check out http://www.anotherprotestsong.org
--
Another Protest Song is a project of Angel Nevarez and Valerie Tevere;
part of their continuing investigation of contemporary music, dissent,
and public fora. www.neurotransmitter.fm
The project archive will be included in Creative Timešs Democracy in
America: The National Campaign, a national program investigating the
historic roots and practical manifestations of the American democratic
tradition. www.creativetime.org

// Short films wanted for:
// 1) EMERGEANDSEE Main Competition
// 2) EMERGEANDSEE “East-West” Special
// 3) Partner festival “Localize!”
After a successful 2008 season with 30 marvellous short films and countless lovely international guests at our event, it is time to prepare for EMERGEANDSEE 2009.
The festival will take place in February 2009, at our traditional home, the Berlin cinema Babylon:Mitte. We will again show the most thrilling short film art by filmmakers from all over the world. This year, we have established a new highlight: The “East-West” Special Competition, for films centered around this topic. And, of course, we still have our open Main Competition.
If you are a filmmaker: we would love to see your work submitted in one of these two festival categories. If you know filmmakers: tell them about us, so they can take their chances! As a third opportunity to present your film to an interested audience, we’re featuring the call for entries of our young partner festival “Localize!”
The details:
1) The EMERGEANDSEE Main Competition:
Maximum film duration: 10min. For student filmmakers.
We’re looking for innovative and clever young short films. Be they filmed, computer animated, hand drawn or whatever. Over the years EMERGEANDSEE has gained a reputation of showing the most interesting new ideas from design and film schools all over the world to an open-minded crowd at the cinema. Give your film the audience it deserves and submit it on
http://submit.emergeandsee.org/
2) The EMERGEANDSEE “East-West” Special Competition
Maximum film duration: 20min. For all young filmmakers (30 or younger, that is.)
In our world today the axis East-West gains new importance, but has numerous meanings. What this might mean is totally up to you. It might be the gap between Eastern and Western Germany, or in Europe, the two poles Eastern and Western states, the USA and the Arabic world..it is your idea and your point of view that matters. Tell us your story, get your opinion across to the EMERGEANDSEE visitors. We’re awaiting your film on http://submit.emergeandsee.org/
3) Localize!
This young festival will take place in October 2008 for the first time. Their aim is to explore the topic of “home” in a short film competition. We thought this to be a rather good completion of EMERGEANDSEE and encourage all filmmakers to submit their work. Here’s the call for entries:
Localize – The festival of home Potsdam, 22 – 24 October 2008 Closing date: 31 August 2008
“YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR HOME OR DON’T HAVE ANY BUT NO MATTER WHERE, YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO LIVE SOMEWHERE.” Vilém Flusser
ANNOUNCEMENT In the course of Localize- The festival of home we will set in an expedition into the staircase by next autumn! We call on professional and amateurish filmmakers, artists, students and interested people to join in and give us an exceptional insight into the ordinary features of their lives! Like cinematically realized observations of everyday life in the proximate social environment, for example. We are looking for shortfilms which refocus on the apparent implicitnesses of everyday life: Where is my home? How does it look like there, in my flat, around the corner, in the environment close-by or far away? Which problems, which moments of happiness are there? Is home the place where I am born or is it the one which I have chosen by myself? Is home a place at all or is it the people with whom I feel at home? Is it possible to link the terms “everyday life” and “living space” with the term “home”? What does home mean in times of globalisation? No matter i
f your film is going to be highly professional or amateurish, animated, documentary or fictional, we are interested in your individual view on your individual environment!
Closing date for sending in the films for the competition is 31 August, 2008. The films should not exceed 30 minutes in length. The chosen films for the festival will be shown from 22 – 24 October, 2008 in the Potsdam film museum. There will be a jury awarding the best films and prizes awarded worth up to *1000. You will find the set form for participation as well as further information on www.heimatfestival.de
FESTIVAL Localize! – the festival of home is realised by students of the courses European Media Studies and Cultural Studies of the University of Potsdam with the collaboration of the Potsdam film museum.

Garden of Delight
2008 Yeosu International Art Festival (South Korea)
30 August - 20 September 2008
is looking for soundart works from artists from all over the world.
Garden of Delights & Yeosu Art Festival
Artistic Director & Curator: Raúl Zamudio
Various venues
Yeosu, South Korea
Garden of Delights is an international exhibition that will take place in the city of Yeosu, South Korea and is part of the 2008 Yeosu Art Festival. The festival will consist of the international exhibition, a program of video and film, a one day event of public audio works played from a car equipped with bullhorn speaker system that will make its was around the city, an outdoor sculpture park, performances, and an exhibition by local Yeosu artists. Garden of Delights will present over 50 artists from around the world including artists from greater South Korea as well as from the festival’s host city. The title of the exhibition is a reference to the famous Hieronymous Bosch tryptich and a film by the avant-garde filmaker Stan Brakhage. The title and scope of the exhibition, however, will align itself with the theme of the upcoming 2012 Yeosu International Exposition. But whereas the International Exposition articulates Yeosu as a paradigmatic urban locus symbiotic with surrounding geography and the sea, Garden of Delights equally takes a similar view, albeit existentially, of the necessary recropicity between nature and contemporary society and the ultimate dystopia fostered through the negation of this relationship. The artists will approach the exhibition’s curatorial framework in a diversity of media including painting, photography, sculpture, video, installation, sound works, and works-on-paper.
1. Max. 3 soundart works can be submitted
2. Duration: no work may exceed 3 minutes
3. Only MP3 format accepted
4. Works should fit in the festival theme
5. The submission must be done online by filling in this entry form

Nowadays, the popularity of cartographic and earth visualization tools such as Google Maps and Google Earth has become an increasingly tangible component of how we experience the Web. Moreover, the use of geolocalization systems, such as GPS, is spreading and increasingly present in the digital world.

Artists interested in this theme, and by the production context offered by Agence TOPO are encouraged to submit their proposals. The projects could also include an “off screen” component, such as performance, installation, exhibition or mobile networks, that complements and expands the Web features and possibilities.
In order to respect the foreseen deadlines, projects currently under development and those demonstrating a strong commitment from the artists will be given priority. The selected artists and projects will benefit from technical support for a period of 4 to 8 weeks within a residency program that can be spread out over time depending on the artists’ needs and specific project requirements.
The selected artists will have the following benefits:- Production fees
- Access to a computer and audiovisual equipment
- Web design assistance (programming and multimedia
integration)
- Organization of a launching event in Montréal (Fall 2009)
- Publication
Submissions / Due date: August 15, 2008
- Project proposal
- Description of technical needs
- Proposed work timetable (Spring – Summer 2009)
- Summary of artistic approach
- Press kit
