Call for Film/Video Programs: Exuberant Politics
Deadline: April 21, 2013

An exuberant politics is exhortative, celebratory, evocative.

It is foot-stomping, lung-splitting, booty-shaking.
It’s in your face, your backyard, your neighborhood, your watershed, your continent.

It’s planetary, and it’s right here.

It is direct, but it likes to dance.

It’s exuberant, and it starts with you.

“Exuberant
 Politics” is issuing a call for film/video programmers, activist 
archivists, and DIY curators to propose 70-90 minute programs of moving 
image work featuring exuberant, vivacious, and creative responses to 
historical and contemporary political issues.

Proposed
 programs could map a historical arc or be based around specific topics,
 like “exuberant pacifism,” or “rocking reproductive righteousness.” We 
are particularly interested in proposals that combine projects by 
politically-engaged artists’ with creative activism undertaken by people
 who do not identify as artists. Programs may include performance or 
protest actions documented by video, as well as work taking film/video 
as its primary medium.

A
 total of three programs will be selected to screen at the University of
 Iowa in Fall 2013, with potential for additional screenings to be 
arranged in consultation with programmers and artists. Selected 
programmers will receive a $250 honorarium and up to $400 for screening 
fees.

“Exuberant
 Politics” is a yearlong series of programs organized by University of 
Iowa faculty and Iowa City artists and arts organizations. The 
“Exuberant Politics” film series is funded by the University of Iowa 
Museum of Art.

Proposals
 should include a 250 word description of the program, a tentative list 
of works (with short synopses and runtimes), and a 250 word narrative 
bio of the programmer. Send to exuberantpolitics at gmail.com by April 21, 2013. Submissions will be reviewed, selected, and notified by May 5.
