Darklight festival calls for student work

The organisers of the Darklight art, film and technology festival have requested  submissions for their 2008 programme, including student work.

Darklight 2008, described as the premier festival for digital filmmakers, animators and artists, will take place from June 26 to 29.

With no restrictions on genre, length or number of submitted works, the event welcomes a wide range of content including feature films, experimental video works, CG animation, games sequences, and music videos.

“We really, really want to see your work… Darklight explores the convergence of art, film, and technology and focuses on work that challenges concepts, visual aesthetic, narrative, access, methods of production, and dialogue, through contemporary film-making techniques,” said the organisers in their latest newsletter.

“We support and encourage work that pushes technological boundaries and displays creative excellence. Our mission is to nurture new talent and to create bold new possibilities for the imagination”. People interisted are asked to visit darklight.ie.
