_SELF

Grand Prize: $250

In partnership with the Peabody award winning public media site Transom.org, we are seeking both artists and everyday people to create a story form audio visual representation of their identity in 5 minutes or less.

Selections will be featured at the FLIK International Movie Festival, July 25th-27th, at the Art Whino Gallery at the new National Harbor in the greater D.C. area.

The story can be a memory, a vignette from life, an interesting dream that affected you, an experience of moving to a new culture and how it made you feel, a story your mother once told you, an event that changed your notion of identity – or made you realize something about yourself, a ponderance of a certain theme in your life…

All stories must be non-fiction and be accompanied by a moving visual representation to accompany it. The visual can literally reflect the story, or compliment it – your choice. Examples of visuals are: photo slideshows, cut up old films and videos, animation, footage of locations or relative imagery, or even a series of hand drawings. Whatever is appropriate to the story being told…

_SELF is an ongoing program that will continue beyond the FLIK Festival itself and is intended to encourage storytelling, diversity, self reflection, oral histories, and the sharing of experience. All selections will be featured at both FLIK Festival and the FLIK Festival Website following the event. The most resonant presentations will be featured permanently on the Transom Website, a showcase and workshop for new media artists and possibly featured on Transom’s nationally syndicated radio show.

How to Submit: Create your video, upload it to a web server, or YouTube it. Email the link with your personal contact information to: self@flikfestival.com

There is no entry fee. If you are chosen, we will contact you for a higher quality version of your commercial and any additional information.

This contest will be co-curated by the Peabody Award winning staff at Transom.org.
