The world benchmark for Abstract Art in Motion is launching its NINTH international Call for Entries, open to short films made ENTIRELY with abstract (non-representational) imagery. We invite artists to focus on the expressiveness of audiovisual art in its purest state: form, color, motion, and sound. The festival’s mission is to recapture the spirit of Cinéma Pur and Absolute Film, as formulated by the European avant-garde in the 1920s, while consolidating this unique art form at the intersection of fine arts and media.
Participation is FREE, and submissions are made online.
