MONITOR 9: New South Asian short film and video
DEADLINE: Friday November 9th, 2012, 5 PM

SAVAC (South Asian Visual Arts Centre) invites submissions for its ninth annual experimental short film and video screening program, Monitor 9.

Monitor 9 is dedicated to the presentation of experimental short films and videos by/and/or about South Asians from Canada and around the world. We invite independent and innovative short films and videos that explore the aesthetic and form of the moving image and its relation to narrative. Monitor 9 encourages new, experimental and risk-taking work that challenges the viewer’s active engagement.

Selected works will be screened at the ninth annual short film and video screening program, Monitor 9 on March 14, 2013 in Toronto, Canada. Monitor 9 will be programmed by independent curator and artist Nahed Mansour.

Monitor is reviewed by a jury of contemporary artists, curators and programmers. This year’s jury consists of Renata Mohamed, Noni Kaur, Cheyanne Turions and Rehab Nazzal.

ALGONQUIN ART LIAISON – REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

Submissions no later than 4 p.m. November 2, 2012

An innovative partnership between the City of Ottawa and the Algonquins of Ontario has been formed to celebrate Algonquin art, culture and heritage through the Ottawa Light Rail Transit (OLRT) project. This project has gained considerable momentum as LeBreton Flats has been identified as an “Algonquin centred” transit station. The location of this station is of particular significance to the Algonquins as it is within close proximity to Chaudière Falls and Victoria Island, both of which are sacred gathering places for the Algonquins since time immemorial.

The Algonquins of Ontario are seeking proposals for an experienced and dynamic Algonquin Art Liaison to facilitate and coordinate two Calls by the OLRT Art Program inviting Algonquin artists to be involved in the design of the look and feel of LeBreton Flats Transit Station. The successful candidate will work to solicit and encourage participation of Algonquin artists in these Calls through the planning and implementation of a range of initiatives including workshops, outreach programs and diverse communication strategies. To learn more about this Request for Proposals, please see the attached file or call (613) 735-3759.

Proposals must be submitted no later than Friday, November 2, 2012 at 4 p.m. to algonquins@nrtco.net
