CALLING ALL YORK CREATIVES!

York’s Cinema & Media Arts Department is seeking student/alumni submissions for an upcoming series of online screening events. “Lockdown Fest” will be a series of three film events happening throughout July and August. We are looking to share the creative works York students have produced amidst the struggles of Covid. All York students and alumni (from Production, Studies, Media Arts, Grad and Undergrad) are welcome to submit their projects.

We are looking for short films that have been made during the Covid-19 pandemic (i.e. from March 1st onwards), although these films do not need to be about Covid. Fiction, docs, experimental, hybrid - York or indie projects - are all welcome.

Want to submit something in an unconventional format like looping videos, web art, or interactive works? Contact us with details of your work and we'll do what we can to accommodate your submission.

Submissions should be a maximum of 15 minutes in length. “Lockdown Fest” will be three Zoom events happening on July 10th, July 31st, and August 21st from 7:00 PM to 9 PM, featuring special guests and zoom Q & A with the filmmakers, using the technologies at hand to create communal experiences, stimulate conversation, and engage with new and relevant films from York students and alumni.

Please send your vimeo/youtube link to [email protected]. Please make the subject heading of your emailed submission “LOCKDOWN FEST SUBMISSION,” and include your name, your program of study (and year of study if applicable), and the genre of your film.
