Call For Films:
Filming Bodies: Bodies Filming
The RIGA PASAULES FILM FESTIVAL (RPFF) will celebrate its 7th edition with
a new cycle of film screenings, workshops, a retrospective, and
discussions. The film festival will take place from the 26th - 29th April
2020 at Kino Bize, located in the heart of Riga’s Art Nouveau district.
The curating team of RPFF’s 2020 edition is calling for cinema works, of a
broad anthropological persuasion, that engage with the cinematic experience
of the sensuous body. We are looking for works that, through their content
or form, address the ways in which the filmmaker’s body is integral to the
process of filmmaking, that offer a creative engagement with the politics
of the body, and that address the viewers’ corporeal capabilities.
We are interested in works that shift focus from the human gaze to the
experience of the sensuous body, and its non-discursive ways of relating.
Some of the themes we are interested in:
- The body of the filmmaker, touching on how recording devices embody the
filmmaker’s physical presence, how the filmmaker’s moving body frames a
situation, and how material produced by filmmaking equipment goes beyond
the “audiovisual”.
- The ethics of the filmed body. What ethical and political values are at
stake when the body is submitted to cinematic enquiry? To what degree is
filmmaking an empathetic practice that can promote alternatives to
hegemonic understandings of the corporeal experience of the Other, or the
peculiar gaze suggested by scopophilic practices?
- The viewer’s haptic sensibility and the embodied experience of watching
films. How film engages with the viewer’s senses and offers a complex
multi-sensorial experience?
We welcome submissions that have been produced since 2017 and would like to
encourage first time filmmakers and students to submit. Feel free to
forward this call to anybody you think may be interested in the event.
