*** This email has been sent from the MEDIA ARTS AND DANCE email forum. To respond to all subscribers email [log in to unmask] *** Hi Jacob Your sincerity or integrity in creating the festival and the site are not in question but as Claudia pointed out the thought processes or motivations behind their creation are not so clear. Maybe you'd like to explain here why you see Screendance as a 'genre of dance' as opposed to, for example, a branch of media arts (or artists film and video). Why you think inanimate objects form part of your thinking in your definition and can you point to some examples of this, and perhaps also maybe outline what are your curatorial intentions and influences in general? The more 'long in the tooth' amongst us translate "opportunities for younger filmmakers" (or emerging artists for that matter) as a cheap way of getting content from people who won't ask for a screening fee. Maybe you can outline the breadth of the opportunity the festival is offering as opposed to the 60 other international screendance/ videodance festivals putting out calls for entries every year? Or for that matter just loading a video onto youtube / vimeo / blip / google etc and promoting it that way? These are interesting debating points for this list and it would be great to hear your views and give you a strong platform to promote your festival. look forward to hearing your thoughts best regards s On 7 Oct 2009, at 14:25, Jacob Hobbs wrote: > *** This email has been sent from the MEDIA ARTS AND DANCE email > forum.
