Liquid Fridge, partnered with MTKidu and rustpunk, and endorsed by Creative Commons South Africa, presents ICEBOX 02 – an open, collaborative festival exploring the intersection of film, art, music and design in South African moving image.
The festival will facilitate creative collisions of genres and artists in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg in November 2006 through screenings, audiovisual club nights and mini-workshops.
ICEBOX is calling for moving image work by both established and emerging South African artists, in the genres of Design/Experimental, Documentary, Music Video, Narrative, and VJ/Live. Entries must be submitted in digital format but may incorporate any non-digital means – 16mm, DV, claymation, stop-frame animation – anything goes. Innovation is the main criterion, whether through creative use of technology or a storyline with a twist.
While entries under traditional copyright are equally welcome, we support the use of the more flexible Creative Commons licences, which protect artistic works while encouraging certain uses of them. Works in the Public Domain, where no rights are reserved, may also be entered.
Entries selected for the festival will be promoted on our website and a festival DVD, and at artists’ request, we will pursue other opportunities on their behalf. Works and source material made available under a Creative Commons licence or in the Public Domain will also be distributed free of charge around the country through Freedom Toaster – taking open content to the masses.
Entry is free, and you may submit multiple works. The closing date is Friday 18 August 2006.
