Call for one second movies and long off takes
Welcome to submit to the 6th edition of One-Off Moving Image Festival!
The festival is digital and screens the movies online during the festival
November 10 - 20, 2023. In addition we use public space in Valencia (ES) and
Gol (Norway) to show the festival via QR-codes. We're collaborating with
60Seconds Festival in Copenhagen (DK) which takes place at the same time. 60sec
screens a selection of the movies in addition to their 60 seconds movies in
Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Køge and Helsingør during the festival week. In
addition, all One-OffF movies will be included in the next Leap Second
Festival, an irregular x-ennale lasting one second. The festival will also be
part of The Wrong Biennale from November 1, 2023 to March 1, 2024.
This year's theme suggestion is "Colour your dreams". Do androids dream of
electric sheeps? Do they dream in colour? What about the black box of
artificial intelligence? For dreaming in the dark? Hume wrote that nothing we
imagine is absolutely impossible, ie. that we couldn't imagine impossible
things. Mark Jago writes that it may come as something of a surprise to learn
that just about every major philosophical theory of content and meaning is
unable to account for impossible thoughts. Now that the idea of possible worlds
has become a mainstream notion via interpretations of quantum mechanics, what
about impossible worlds, wouldn't they share the same or similar status?
Yagisawa argues, there are other ways of the world than the way the world
actually is. Call them ‘possible worlds.’ There are other ways of the world
than the ways the world could be. Call them ‘impossible worlds’. Where are our
dreams headed now that AI is actively imagining things for us, as a rather
counterfactual and untrustworthy dream-machine shuffling the cards of our
everyday fantasies. Is it colouring the dreams for us? What can be done with a
one second video concerning dreams and colours? An impossible format for
impossible worlds? Or a long off take? A psychogeographical format of following
your dreams?
Be welcome with your own interpretations.
