The Images Festival is now accepting installation, live/performance, and new media submissions for our 22nd Festival, to be held in April 2009. In addition to screenings in a cinema, the Images Festival annually exhibits a growing number of projects beyond the cinema’s walls. Images works with Toronto galleries, production centres, performance and music groups and other alternative exhibition spaces to show artworks incorporating the moving image and interactive media, music and performance. We welcome any and all takes on the definition of what that means.

There is no fee to submit work in these categories and Images pays artist fees for all works presented at the festival. The deadline for submitting your work is July 15, 2008 (postmark). Works created on or after January 1, 2006 are eligible for this year’s festival. Please note: this is a call specifically for gallery, performance, and new media based work. We’ll be posting a call for Film and Video works in July with a deadline of October 31.

A PDF of the call and guidelines can be found on our website. An online fillable form will also be active in the next day or two. Click SUBMIT in the left-hand menu frame: http://www.imagesfestival.com

If you have any trouble with the forms, or would like them emailed to you, please contact images [at] imagesfestival.com
