O:4W Film Festival Final Call

Outcasting: Fourth Wall Festival

1 October – 30 November 2012, Cardiff.

Outcasting: Fourth Wall (O:4W) is the first artists’ moving image festival for Cardiff, Wales. O:4W aims to take artists’ moving image to a wider public through a number of different platforms, venues and opportunities both virtual and physical using traditional screenings, installations and site specific commissions.

It is timed to coincide with a lot of activity in Cardiff over the two-month programme, including Artes Mundi 5, Cardiff Design Festival, Soundtrack Festival, Swn Festival and Made in Roath to attract maximum exposure for the participating artists.

After a hugely positive first round of submissions we are now placing a final deadline for commissioning new work / installations of 31 July.

Please send by email only to [email protected]

If you are interested in being commissioned for a new site-specific work please send a brief (200 words max) outline of your practice with up to 5 jpegs and / or a link to your work online with an additional commissioning proposal (500 words max).

The commissioning process will be based on a dialogue between the artist, the programmers and the venues. If you have an idea we will try to find a suitable space for it.

All artists selected will receive either a commission or a screening fee and there are no registration or submission costs for this event.

The festival is funded by the Arts Council of Wales Festivals fund, with support from Cardiff Council. The festival will be curated by Michael Cousin (Outcasting, g39) and Ruth Cayford (St David’s Hall).
