[Frameworks] Echo Park Film Center - Good things come in THREES!

[Paolo Davanzo]

Dear Frameworkers and extended experimental film family,

We are writing from the Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles to send our love and alert you all to three wonderful and exciting things happening in the next few weeks at EPFC. For those unfamiliar with our organization, we are a media arts center located in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles since 2001. We basically do 5 things: Screen experimental and documentary films and videos in our 60-seat microcinema.Teach free and low-cost film and video classes. Run an equipment rental co-op and retail store. Operate a traveling film school and cinema known as the EPFC Filmmobile. And host local and international artist residency programs. 

Here are the THREE things we want to share with you all!

LA AIR ( Los Angeles Artist-in-Residency Program) - CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

In addition to our International Artist Residency we offer ever August (see website for details), We invite local artists to utilize EPFC resources in creating and premiering new, experimental, documentary, and personal work over a two-month period. We especially encourage applications from artists interested in engaging with EPFC's areas of specialty: small gauge film, progressive politics & community activism, alternative and handmade photochemical processes, local histories, multidisciplinary work, and expanded cinema. Additionally, we encourage artists to engage with the greater EPFC community during the course of their residency. Previous artists-in-residence have included public workshops, curatorial programs, multi-media collaborations, class visits as part of their residency. 
Artists are provided with a modest materials stipend in addition to equipment access, technical and creative support, and work/exhibition space at EPFC's 900 square foot storefront in the Alvarado Arts Building at the corner of Alvarado and Sunset. LA AIR artists will present their completed work at a free public screening in the EPFC microcinema on the last Thursday of their residency cycle. LA AIR projects will be compiled and released as a limited edition set each year.

EPFC’s LA AIR program is open to artists of all ages and backgrounds who are living in the Los Angeles area, that are not currently enrolled in a degree program. Applications are due no later than 5 PM on Saturday, November 15. Each application must include a brief description of the proposed project to be started and completed during the residency period, along with any workshops or community engagement ideas, on a single page. We also require links to view past work online, complete works are much preferred over excerpts. Additional information such as CVs, resumes, bios, etc are helpful if you have them. Artists chosen for the LA AIR program will be announced at our December 6th New Works Salon Marathon event!

INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN

We took the plunge and have launched our first ever indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. After 13 years.....we are beginning to show the signs of our age and are looking to buy new gear for community classes and workshops and update our website. If you believe in the power and beauty of community cinema to change lives then please make a donation.
