**CALL FOR ENTRIES**
The D.FILM Digital Film Festival is seeking short films made using
technology in new ways. This includes digital/desktop video, non-linear
editing, 2-D and 3-D Animation, digital cameras and weird cameras like
Pixelvision and Tyco. We're looking for work from people who are really
pushing the envelope to develop new and exciting styles of film. This
year the festival will be screened in New York, LA, San Francisco,
Boston, San Diego, London and Rio. The entry deadline is ongoing and
there is no entry fee.
Much has been written in the press lately about the high profile digital
effects seen in feature films like the Star Wars re-release or Jurassic
Park. D.FILM focuses on the opposite side of this phenomenon. What
happens when the power of that technology falls into the hands of
everyday people - artists, musicians, non-filmmakers?
D.FILM is a new festival from Low Res Digital Film Festival
Producer/Co-Founder Bart Cheever, with the combined talents of Low Res
Graphic Artist David Weissburg and Low Res Web Architect Cindy Kawakami.
Last year Low Res was presented at the DGA in Hollywood, Center for the
Arts in San Francisco, Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley, The Kitchen in
New York, the ICA in London and as a part of the 25th International Film
Festival in Rotterdam. Low Res is now defunct.
Entry forms and further information about D.FILM are available on our
website at www.dfilm.com, or by contacting Bart Cheever at
[email protected] or by calling our office at 415.541.5683.
You can also submit films directly by mailing a vhs preview copy to:

"For me the great hope is that now that 8mm video recorders are coming
out, that people who normally wouldn't make movies are going to be
making them. And that one day a little fat girl in Ohio is going be the
new Mozart and make a beautiful film with her father's camcorder. For
once the so-called professionalism about movies will be destroyed and it
will really become an art form." - Francis Ford Coppola
