A CALL TO BROOKLYN ARTISTS
“GOWANUS BASIN: A SENSE OF PLACE”. DEC.5-22, 2008
The Gowanus Canal Conservancy (GCC) invites visual artists to
participate in a benefit art exhibition and sale, “Gowanus Basin: A
Sense of Place”, on December 5-22, 2008. This event has come about
very quickly, due to the imminent availability of a new retail space
in Gowanus, on Bond Street between Union and Sackett.
The primary objectives of this exhibition are to raise funds for GCC,
to bring focus on Gowanus as the center of northwest Brooklyn
neighborhoods, to generate public interest in the preservation of the
Gowanus landscape, and to foster opportunities for local artists.
Very prompt action is requested by interested local artists — the
Opening Reception will be on Friday, December 5, 6-8:30 pm. Regular
gallery hours over the following 3 weeks are Thursdays 3-8 pm, Fridays
3-6 pm, Saturdays and Sundays 11 am – 7 pm. There will be a Final Day
Sale on Monday, December 22, 11 am – 7 pm.
Submitted artwork should be representational views of streetscapes,
landscapes, or interiors, and specifically of locales in the Gowanus
Basin area of Brooklyn [the neighborhoods of Gowanus, Park Slope,
Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill]. Artwork must be 2-
dimensional media: painting, photography, original prints, etc. and
must be framed or canvas edges painted or taped.
For more information please visit www.gowanuscanalconservancy.org, or call Lauren Collins
at the Conservancy office, 718-858-0557.
Rooftop Films is now accepting submissions for the 2009 Summer Series!
Submit your movies! We are currently accepting submissions for the 2009 Summer Series. In May 2009 we will begin celebrating our 13th year of bringing the best underground films in the world outdoors and to the rooftops of New York. Submit your films and videos now and participate in one of the most unforgettable, unique, filmmaker-friendly, independent film events in the world!
• A complete list of rules and regulations are available on our website
• Films can be submitted via Withoutabox.com or directly to Rooftop Films
• General deadlines and fees have changed since last year: Earlybird: $9, postmarked by January 5, 2009; Regular: $13, postmarked by February 02, 2009; Late: $16, postmarked by March 1, 2009; Without A Box Extended: $16, April 1, 2009 (Without A Box members only.)
• Rooftop continues to accept films year round, but if you want to guarantee that your films will be considered for the 2009 Summer Series please make sure to submit them on or before the deadlines.
THE FESTIVAL:
The 2009 Summer Series will run from May through September and will feature more than 200 daring new films, all screened outdoors, in front of big, loyal audiences in parks, along the water, and on rooftops overlooking the greatest city on earth. More than 15,000 people attended Rooftop screenings in 2008, making it one of the most popular festivals in New York City. The 2009 Summer Series will surely feature even bigger crowds, even more beautiful venues, and more incredible films.
SUBMITTING TO ROOFTOP:
Rooftop Films is committed to helping filmmakers get their films screened and we believe that it is the responsibility of a film festival to make it as easy as possible for filmmakers to submit their films and get them screened. That is why we don’t demand that filmmakers send us exorbitant submission fees. There is a recommended early submission fee of $9.00 per filmmaker or curator for any films postmarked prior to January 5th, and for that fee you can submit as many films as you like without paying additional submission fees. Our early submission fee is the same as our regular ticket price, and every filmmaker who submits to Rooftop will get TWO free passes to any regular Rooftop Films show (a value of $18). We try to keep the cost to filmmakers as minimal as possible and though we can’t show all the films sent in to us, we hope that all the filmmakers that submit come out to our shows—and the first one is on us.
If you have any other questions—please email Program Director Dan Nuxoll at *submit at rooftopfilms dot com*
