Wireless Media Call for Entries
http://www.sffs.org/festival/wireless06.html
This is an invitation to submit work to the San Francisco Film Society for
consideration to be included in the 49th San Francisco International Film
Festival taking place April 20 May 4, 2006. In specific, this call is for
a program that will focus on a series of visual works made by and/or for
wireless media devices and signals. Roughly this breaks down into three
categories:
1. Works made by mobile devices
2. Works made to be specifically viewed on mobile devices.
3. Works that use wireless signals a new aesthetic medium.
Submissions due: January 3, 2006
Final Decisions: February 17, 2006

Telephonic communication has always been a two-way street. You send
messages, you receive messages. Now, a myriad of wireless communications
devices also record and playback text messages, still images, sound and
video. But the transmission principle is the same. These recordings are sent
or received and cover distance. What¹s changed is the multi-use functions of
telecommunications hardware. Mobile devices have become special tools for
interacting with the mediated world. The question this program will explore
is how do these mobile devices enable new methods of production,
distribution and/or exhibition. We invite you to submit your work to help us
form an answer.
The San Francisco International Film Festival will present a multi-varied
program of ³mobiley² inspired work.
We especially encourage works that use mobile technologies, wireless
signals, text or animation as new type of recording tool or medium, and/or
articulate the difference and urgency of exhibiting on tiny, portable
screens.
