AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

A new joint media project provides funds for documentary makers.

Until January 2012, The Economist and PBS NewsHour are funding short documentaries from Abu Dhabi to Albuquerque on a range of topics from astronomy to agriculture.

The aim of The Economist Film Project is to showcase the selected segments, films and filmmakers as broadly as possible.

The project seeks submissions of completed documentary films on a rolling basis continuing monthly through January 2012.

Both documentary shorts and feature-length films may be submitted. The Economist will provide filmmakers whose films are chosen with a US$4,000 grant to produce six to eight minutes of footage from the film to air on PBS NewsHour.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:

Ugly Duckling Presse would like to introduce you to Emergency INDEX, an
annual print publication documenting new performance in the words of its
creators. Because performance transcends disciplinary boundaries, INDEX
includes performances of every kind, from any genre, made anywhere in the
world for any purpose.

Emergency INDEX is modeled after the “Artist’s Chronicle” of the magazine
High Performance (1978-1997). In its pages, early performance art in the
1970s defined itself through actual works as reported by the artists who
made them. Though INDEX is not limited to performance art, it uses a
structure similar to the “Artist’s Chronicle” to allow makers of all kinds
of performance to define the state of their field.
