CALL FOR PROPOSALS
ANALOGUE RESILIENCE: A FILM LABS GATHERING
May 25 – 30, 2023 in Toronto, Canada

Toronto, September 13, 2022—The Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of
Toronto (LIFT) is excited to announce that we will be hosting a gathering
of analogue film labs and filmmakers here in Toronto, Canada, taking place May
25 – 30, 2023. Our intention for this gathering is to create spaces and
situations for artist-run labs, collectives, and filmmakers to share with
and learn from each other through collaboration and conversation.

The theme of the gathering is *Analogue Resilience*. Analogue, to invoke
the material qualities of the film medium, as well as an embodied way of
working. Resilience, in reference to the continued vitality of this form of
filmmaking; and to the community of people whom filmmaking survives
through, who continue this practice in contexts and locations in which they
encounter resistance.

The gathering will include demonstrations and discussion sessions divided
into three sections: Organizational Issues, Techniques and Technologies,
and Presentation. We are putting out a Call for Proposals to invite
participants to suggest the topics and experiences they would like to
discuss and the hands-on techniques they would like to learn or share. The
purpose of this call is to enable us to collectively create a general
structure for the gathering that reflects the interests of the
international analogue filmmaking community. Both local and international
proposals are welcome. Please note that we are not accepting proposals for
stand alone screenings.

LIFT is committed to diversity in all its forms and will be looking at the
proposals with an eye towards prioritizing inclusive topics and proposals
from BIPOC and LGBTQIA filmmakers.

Deadline: Tuesday, October 11, 2022 by 5:00pm ET.

In full transparency, LIFT has the funds to host an event, but the size of
the event and related travel funds, with specific regard to those who are
not able to secure funding independently, will be contingent on future
funding not yet obtained and may be a collaboration with the artist.

Proposals can be submitted at the following link:

General registration for the gathering will open at the beginning of the
new year.
