Artist's film and video - call for submissions
Calling all artists in film, video and related media - submissions now open for selection to UK and overseas arts festivals.
The Projection Gallery.com is an artist's organisation for the exhibition, promotion, and distribution of film, video and related artworks. Since 2003 we have worked with UK and worldwide artists to bring their works exposure, maintain a database of works, and exhibit them in conjunction with leading contemporary spaces, curators, and festivals.

As a result of exhibitions in the UK and overseas in 2008, we have been approached by UK festivals and galleries assistance in selecting new works. We have decided to run an open submissions policy for a limited time only, and would be interested in new works of animation, artist's film, single-screen video, cross-media work, short documentary, film installation, time-based strategies, dance, storytelling, and related works. These will be considered for inclusion in shows and events in 2009. All artists selected will be contacted for further information.
