Ai confini del mondo. dentro l'OccidenteFestival di corti, documentari e lungometraggi indipendenti.5/a Edizione Maggio 2006 www.tekfestival.it
Vi invitiamo a prendere parte ad un viaggio che attraverserà conflitti globalie rivolte, si soffermerà sulle contraddizioni del modello di sviluppooccidentale e ripartirà lungo gli imprevedibili sentieri aperti dalle nuoveforme di attivismo e coraggio quotidiano.Il festival è aperto a identità metamorfiche e impure che resistono alparadigma dello scontro di civiltà e della guerra permanente. A forme di vita che attraversano i confini tra maschile e femminile, tra fiction edocumentario, tra centro e periferia. A migranti, filmakers deliranti, figure del precariato, alle interferenze culturali.

MENTI FRESCHE è sempre aperto. Per proporre i propri progetti basta visitare il sito www.opos.it
Le idee e i lavori di particolare interesse verranno presentati nella sezione dedicata all’interno del sito di OPOS.
Le proposte e i designer selezionati potranno usare il marchio "selected by OPOS" e saranno invitati a partecipare a tutte le mostre e i concorsi di OPOS.
INTERFERENCIA è un gruppo artistico il cui obiettivo è quello di promuovere e produrre azioni e interventi artistici in spazi pubblici. Ricontestualizzando tali spazi come luoghi dell'espressione e del pensare sociale ed artistico. Pensando allo spazio pubblico come area per il dialogo permanente, aperto alla partecipazione artistica del cittadino e luogo di sperimentazione. L'evento di INTERFERENCIA avverrà in diversi spazi pubblici di Barcellona durante il mese di luglio del 2006 all'interno del GREC FESTIVAL. Gli artisti o i collettivi di tutte le nazionalità possono fare domanda per partecipare alla selezione, in una o più delle seguenti sezioni del progetto
BANDO
1. PROJECTS OF ARTISTIC INTERVENTION IN PUBLIC SPACES OF BARCELONA
The objective of this call is the selection of projects of artistic intervention mainly in public spaces of the downtown area and Montjuïc area in Barcelona. Only proposals including public space as a specific part of the artistic project -modifying it, questioning it, rethink it- will be accepted.
Deadline: 5 February 2006
2. CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR EPHEMERAL ACTIONS
The objective of the call is the selection of action /performance projects to be included in the programming of INTERFERENCIA. Actions with a close relationship with public spaces of the Montjuïc area and Raval district of Barcelona will be prioritized. INTERFERENCIA will also prioritize those actions fostering participation of the public and with a social content.
Deadline: 5 February 2006
3. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: “IT COULD HAPPEN HERE”
The aim of the project “IT COULD HAPPEN HERE” is to encourage the inhabitants of Barcelona to think about the consequences of natural disasters happening in some places around the world. The idea is to get these events closer to the city of Barcelona by “representing” them in public spaces of our city through virtual manipulation of the images. How Plaça Catalunya would look like after a disaster like Katrina? How any given street or square of the city of Barcelona would look like after an earthquake, like the recent one in Pakistan?, after the bombings in Bali?, after a tropical storm?, after floods?… It could also happen here. Those things do not always happen to other people.The aim of the call is to select digital format images showing this kind of virtual intervention in any public space of Barcelona. Those images will be shown within the frame of the event.
Deadline: 10 May 2006
4. CALL FOR PROPOSALS: AUDIOVISUAL DOCUMENTS SHOWING EXPERIENCES OF ARTISTIC INTERVENTIONS IN PUBLIC SPACES
The objective of the call is the selection of audio-visual documents to be projected, showing experiences of artistic intervention in public spaces of any city or territory.
Deadline: 10 May 2006
