Women in Film Festival in Vancouver seeks interactive projects for their New Media Day on March 4th, 2009.

The women in film festival is a four day event that showcases national and international female projects in screen based media. The first day of the festival is dedicated to new media production and its a full day of panels discussions, networking events, pitches of new applications, and best of all- a new media exhibit that would transform vancity theatre into a great interactive space. This day would bring together content creators, visual artists and technology groups, and encourage discussions about new forms of interactivity and storytelling.

I am looking for projects that push the boundaries of traditional story telling and use interactive methods to engage the audience in the piece. Anything from an art installation, non linear films to mobile games and interactive performances. We are presenting projects from the digital media centre, Vancouver art galleries, mobile groups, national and international companies.

Selected artists will receive 2 festival passes with access to all the film screening, galas, panels and network events. They would also have a great opportunity to present their work to key personals in the new media industry in Canada. Out of town artists can also receive assistance in accommodation and travel expenses during their stay.

If interested please send a link to your work with a short synopsis and what equipment would you need to present it at the theatre. For more information about women in film and the  festival program please visit:
