Canadian and international artists are invited to apply with a short movement based film to the eighth annual F-O-R-M (Festival Of Recorded Movement) in November 2023.
F-O-R-M presents films that investigate the body in motion through curiosity, experimentation, and imagination. We are interested in films that creatively explore our personal lived experiences and how such themes can be told through narrative or experimental approaches. Cinematography, experimental editing styles, and post-production effects are also considerations that contribute and add layers to the subject matter. We invite proposals to consider the interplay between the camera and the movement, regardless of the form.
F-O-R-M strongly encourages and prioritizes applications from Youth artists, and those from intersectional and traditionally marginalized communities; Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, folks with disabilities, and diverse sexual orientations, gender identities or expressions (LGBTQ2S+).
This year, we have four different categories to apply to that reflect a specific theme in your film. This new approach invites artists who have not historically connected with F-O-R-M, and supports our curiosities to broaden the scope and possibilities of recorded movement.
