SUMBISSIONS ARE CLOSED!
The fifth edition of Experimental Film Festival Process will take place from 17 till 21 May 2023 in Riga, Latvia.
Organized by the artist-run filmlab Baltic Analog Lab, the festival is dedicated to the diverse analogue cinema practices employed by adventurous audiovisual artists from around the world. The programme comprises film screenings, live performances, talks, discussions, parties, as well as a two day expanded cinema workshop on May 13 – 14.
This year the theme of the festival is “Noise Spectrum”, thinking about the different shapes of noise as an audial, visual, mental and social phenomenon – a sign that can indicate brutal chaos but also a fearless disruption of an existing violent situation.
NB! We ONLY welcome the submission of experimental short films where the use of analog (photochemical) film has been a substantial part of the filmmaking process.Films with available analog (16mm, Super8) copies will be prefered during selection process.
Filmmakers and artists are welcome to submit until the deadline of the 31st March 2023 via Film Freeway website
