IMAGES FESTIVAL 2003 // CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Images is the largest festival in Canada for independent media, showcasing international excellence and innovation both on and off the screen. From Super-8 and hand-tinted celluloid to DV, performance and interactive work, we go out of our way and over the edge to provide Toronto with an annual extravaganza of image making.

For 15 years, the Images Festival has exhibited and encouraged the work of artists producing film and video outside of mainstream commercial production and distribution systems and aesthetic conventions. Images is committed to an expanded concept of film and video practice: alongside its film and video screenings, the festival embraces a wide variety of practices, including performances, installations and new media. In addition to the international competitio programs drawn from submissions to the festival, Images includes artists' retrospectives, national and regional cinema spotlights, and special curated programs.
