Topic: VIDEOART & EXPERIMENTAL FILMS CALL FOR TRANSFERA TV PROGRAM

Spain and International/  It is left open without restrictions the call to select, by means of a criteria in which will be valued particularly the quality, the experimentation, the innovation and the risk, the creations of all those audio-visual artists who wish that their works are promoted and broadcasted through a weekly and independent program of television broadcasted at Canal Autor, a cable channel based in Madrid, Spain (Abdón Terradas nº4, 28015).
The content of the tv program Transfera is exclusively dedicated to divulgue videoart in all its modalities (any processes of image-sound interaction, without exclusion of the experimental cinema), with the aim to disclose to the great public a view of the consolidated videoartists and offer a platform for all those emergent videoartists with a future projection who contribute with renewing proposals, avoid  conventional visual language and  does not find their place in other mass media spaces.
Due to the difficult challenge that supposes to raise a project of this spread, destined essentially to compensate the well-known mediatic absence, in this first stage of non-profit test and consolidation of Transfera, the relation with the artists will be based on a principle of promotion and visibility,  a guideline directed to strengthen the sustainability of the program. Once assured the continuity, a remuneration will be agreed with the selected participants.
There is no deadline nor restrictions for the age of the participants or for the amount of material desired to send.
All the participants can also send a brief  promotional video about themselves and their work (not more than 4 minutes long), that will be included within the program as a presentation of their art.
The interested must send their works in a PAL DVD ZONE 2 or video format mpeg (720x576 resolution, preferably 16:9, but 4:3 is also accepted), uncompressed files, with an acceptable quality for broadcasting, an jpg image of the video, a  brief  CV with their personal data, contact and a signed permission form to: TRANSFERA C/Galeno 41 28232 Las Rozas-Madrid (SPAIN)
Transfera cannot return the sent material. However, all the received material will enter, unless the authors express the contrary, in the selection for the Videoart Mostra that Transfera has planned to organize in Spain at the end of the call. This event will serve to prize the best videos emitted in the program during this time among the selected participants as a compensation for their support.
In the case that the piece is selected, Transfera will send a submission form with the agreement for  broadcast permission and rights clearance to be signed by you.
Participation in this project implies the acceptance of its rules.
