Call for Submissions: Whirlygig Cinema seeks
16mm films for live film score event Making Tracks
11 November 2011 – London

Whirlygig Cinema is looking for films to show at Making Tracks, a regular
event that fuses a programme of short films with new scores performed live
by The Cabinet of Living Cinema. The next event will take place on Saturday
14th January 2012 at Rich Mix, Bethnal Green in East London and will form
part of London Short Film Festival.

Making Tracks brings together a diverse collection of filmmaking talent
including animation, music videos, abstract and experimental video. The
original soundtracks of these films are replaced or enhanced by new scores
and the event gives filmmakers, especially students, who have had problems
with music copyright the chance to show their work in public.

To tie in with the London Short Film Festival’s ‘celluloid film’ theme, Whirlygig
Cinema is collaborating with The Suitcase Cinema to screen 16mm films
using a 16mm projector. They are looking for films that already exist as a
16mm print, but also encourage filmmakers to create new films from old
print. A telecined version of the film for viewing on a computer is desirable
but not essential.

A digital projector will also be available, so films made digitally are welcome,
as are super 8 and 16mm films that have been telecined.
Films should be no longer than 12 minutes and contain little or no audio
dialogue. Voiceover narration is accepted, as long as it can be separated
from the rest of the soundtrack.

Entrants should download a submissions form at
files.whirlygigcinema.com/submissions-mt-jan2012.doc and send it
completed to katie@whirlygigcinema.com by Friday 9th December 2011.
