>> From collage to hip-hop, remix to mash-up, détournement to machinima, the
>> appropriation of preexisting sounds and images has become integral to
>> the creation of new and provocative works of art –all the more so in the
>> digital era. Artists from diverse backgrounds are taking “found” sounds and
>> images and appropriating them into new works that fundamentally alter the
>> meaning and function of these found objects.
>>
>>
>> The Festival of (In)appropriation, now in its fourth year, plays on the
>> notion of what an “appropriate” use of a found sound and/or image may
>> be. Since what is considered appropriate always depends on context –being
>> in the “right” place at the “right” time –appropriation is by definition
>> the art of the inappropriate –being in the “wrong” place at the “wrong”
>> time. Indeed, every reuse is, in some way, a productive misuse –a misuse
>> that we celebrate! When films and videos tear materials from one (con)text
>> and place them in another, they question the limits of what is
>> “appropriate” and thereby open the doors to new ways of seeing, hearing,
>> and thinking. At its best, this act of (in)appropriation may produce
>> revelation that leads viewers to reconsider the relationship between past
>> and present, here and there, truth and lie, intention and subversion.
>>

>>
>> *With that idea in mind, Los Angeles Filmforum invites submissions forthe 2012
>> Festival of (In)appropriation!* We are open to all works that
>> appropriate film or video footage and repurpose it in inventive ways. We
>> will consider both films and videos, including works that are made up
>> entirely of found footage and those that only use small segments ofappropriated material. However, we will only accept films that include some
>> form of appropriation, that are under 20 minutes long, and that were
>> finished in 2010 or later.
>>
>> *
>> *
>>
>> *The Festival of (In)appropriation will take place at Los Angeles
>> Filmforum in Fall 2012, specific date TBA.
>> Curated by Jaimie Baron, Lauren Berliner, and Greg Cohen.*
