UPCOMING

Each year we curate a thematic video festival and accept submissions via an open call. Artists are invited to submit a short video that corresponds to this year’s theme:

you’ve been had

Even fools like me

I said you’re running out of fools

Even old fools like me

the jig is up

Polonius: O, I am slain!

Babe, we’ve all been there. DEFEAT.

O how you held on. Iron on the tongue – whose blood? – every ragged fingernail, every festered wound cauterized, every sweet asshole clenched. But it’s oooovveerrrr nooowwww. The water rises; the curtain falls. The planet, your lover, the cat, roll to their side and lick themselves, leaving you to shelter on the edge of the bed. So what? Now what?

It’s the old poetry of scoundrels, cads and rogues. Ancient, moody songs that make betrayal sound as normal as fried eggs. Somehow we know the lyrics, but only as they fall out of our mouths.

I wish I could, but my car broke down, and I missed the bus, then the taxman came, and my baby left me, right after the cops pulled me over (before the car broke). The war washed it all anyway.

We regret to inform you.

Thank you for your time.

We had an incredible volume.

Your mother/father and I.

After careful consideration.

Thank you.

ASAP.
