CALL FOR VIDEOS: INPORT International Video-Performance Art Festival (Estonia)

From Paul Coulliard and FADO:
Performance artists all around the world are invited to send proposals for INPORT, International Video-Performance Art Festival, in Tallinn, Estonia on November 2005.

INPORT would like to bring artists from all around the world closer to Estonian audiences. This is non-profit Festival and unfortunately we have a very small budget so we can only show your video/videos on a single screen. We can't offer artistic fees, accommodation or travel expenses. After the Festival we will produce an on-line catalogue on the Festival web-site (http://www.inport.tk).

Last year we received nearly 260 videos from 19 countries; INPORT Festival presented 36 videos by artists from around the world.

Performance artists are invited to submit proposals for Festival in the following categories:

Video-performance (performances made specially for camera)
Video documentary (video documentations of performances)

Formats accepted: VHS (PAL only), miniDV (PAL only), VCD, DVD

There's no limit of length, but please don't send the masters!

There are no official entry forms or entry fees!
