[Heath Iverson]

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Pirate Cinema--a mobile moving-image installation powered by renewable
energy--in collaboration with the Maldives Pavilion at this year’s Venice
Biennale, will be presenting a program of short (10 minutes or less) films
on the topic of environmental activism, climate change, and its causes and
consequences for people and the natural world. Filmmakers and artists are
encouraged to submit short works to be screened in Venice this summer on
Pirate Cinema’s solar and bicycle powered screen. We are seeking to include
films representing a range of cinematic voices--from activist filmmakers
documenting environmental campaigns to experimental artists  offering
poetic explorations of our relationships to nature and the environment.

Pirate Cinema is an ecologically friendly open platform and  catalyst for
engaged art, guerrilla promotion, street politics and people’s empowerment.
It organizes short and feature films screenings, experimental music, and
festivals.

The Maldives Pavilion seeks to bring together artistic responses to the
current the ecological crisis facing the Maldives, a tiny island nation
which current climate estimates predict will be completely submerged under
rising sea levels by 2080. The Pavilion is an eco-aesthetic space, a
platform for environmental campaigners, artists and thinkers.Through
inviting artists and contributors to the Maldives Pavilion’s intention is
to provide a meaningful aesthetic experience and extensive knowledge of the
concept of “Contemporary Environmental Romanticism.”
