Very Brief Artist Films

Artists and filmmakers - we want your moving image micro-masterpieces
for inclusion in a showreel to be screened in the window of 42 New
Briggate Gallery, Leeds.
Recent statistics suggest that the average time gallery visitors spend
with artworks is 7 seconds, moving up to a whopping 30 seconds for
film and video work. Accordingly we will be accepting submissions of
video pieces between 7 and 30 seconds long for consideration. There is
no restriction on style or form, only duration!
42 New Briggate is located in Leeds City Centre next to The Grand,
with plenty of footfall. The projection will be viewable in the window
from dusk until dawn each day 3rd December - 27thFebruary. Submissions
should not contain material that may be considered offensive. There
will be no provision for audio so silent works only please.

The showreel will be launched as part of Art in Unusual Spaces, a
scheme that endeavors to utilise empty spaces for creative and
cultural activity, on 3rd December. Art in Unusual Spaces is supported
by Leeds City Council’s Art and Regeneration and Public Art teams.
