Contemporary video art festival Open Call in Netherlands

Fourth edition of a yearly contemporary film- and video art festival, featuring an international selection of video artists and film makers. The curatorial team decided this years festival theme to be 'Secret gardens'. The videos will be screened in a mystical underground space, part of Museum Romeinse Katakomben in Valkenburg, the Netherlands.

The festival theme
Museum Romeinse Katakomben (MRK) is a historical Roman museum. Wandering through the mystical underground passages - about 25 m underground - you will discover the ancient Rome of the third and fourth century. You descend to the graves of ordinary Roman citizens and to the beautiful tombs of prominent Romans. The breathtakingly beautiful fresco's reveal myths, scenes from daily life, but also countless gardens, flowers & nature scenes. The museum has developed a theme tour, during which the visitors visit the fresco's of these 'secret' underground gardens. Due to the huge success of this underground experience, the curatorial team decided to choose this inspiring theme to be this years festival's theme. Film makers and video artists are welcome to apply with a work which is a contemporary / conceptual translation of the concept 'secret garden'.

Submission deadline: 10/09/2018 / Find out more HERE.
