Double Vision: A Dual-Channel Video Festival
Wednesday October 28th, 2009

About The Festival:
This festival is to be screened at Herron School of Art and Design in the Basile Auditorium in conjunction with the photography and video exhibition Between History and Memory. Herron is located on the campus of Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). The screening will take place on Wednesday October 28th, 2009.

About The Theme:
Dual Channel video work is a style that is often included in exhibition format but rarely seen in a festival type screening; therefore this festival will exclusively feature this format. Works that truly experiment with the format are encouraged, but any two channel (side by side) video work will be considered.

Eligibility:
Open to all artists worldwide. Videos are limited to 20 minutes.

How to Submit Your Work:
Please send up to 5 two channel video works (side by side) in H.264 MP4 format. Videos should be 250MB or less for the judging phase. Please name your files artist name, title.mp4 for example George Washington, White Horse.mp4 Send larger videos via http://www.badongo.com/ (no registration to badongo required but a free account gives more control)

Via email, submit a corresponding title list. The title list should include the title, date, length, and any copyright information. Each submission must be accompanied with a brief artist statement about each video and/or your work as a whole as well as an artist bio and/or artist resume. All documents must be included electronically as either a Word document or a PDF. Also, please include the best frame capture from each setup in JPEG format for publicity purposes.

All submissions are due by September 1, 2009. Email submissions and any questions to: dualchannelshow@gmail.com Gmail allows messages up to 25MB so you may send videos and attachments less than this directly.
