The 2011 European Tour: Call for submissions and venues now open

Posted by cutandruntour on January 19, 2011 · 3 Comments 

Announcing Cut and Run’s 2011 Experimental European Tour – Call for Submissions – Call for Venue Proposals

Cut and Run began in early 2009 in San Francisco as a single screening event at Artists’ Television Access. It has since evolved into an annual traveling film festival featuring experimental and avant-garde cinema, both contemporary and past works.

C + R celebrates works that deviate from mainstream and traditional cinema and opt towards authentic, brave, challenging, stylized, alternative and imagined subjects. The call for submissions has no direct set theme. The program themes develop around the sense we make of the selected works as well as individual sought-out films that provoked and inspired us. In other words, our programs are inspired after we see your work.

Please send us your 25 min. or less piece on DVD or miniDV tape by mail. Contact us at cutandruntour@gmail.com to obtain address info.

C + R is also accepting venue proposals for exhibitions for our European Tour. We are seeking venues overseas that are equipped for both Film and Video projection.
