24/7: DIY Video Summit

University of Southern California (USC)


Entry Deadline: September 15, 2007 (+ earlier!!)


This three-day event in February 2008 will bring together DIY video

creators, activists, policy makers, internet companies, and scholars to

celebrate new forms of creative practice.  During the event, we will

showcase new genres of DIY media, including political remix videos.


Political remix videos are critical or satirical media works focussing
on

political, social or cultural topics (such as race, class and gender)

created by remixing footage from movies, TV shows, commercials and/or

broadcast news.  Because political remix videos are critical
commentaries,

they commonly rely on fair use and the First Amendment, and creators do

not ask for permission to remix works.


We are looking for innovative and interesting work that represents the

best current offerings (made in 2006-2007) or is of historical

significance to political remix practice.


A competitive selection process will be conducted by a diverse team of

creator/curators.  Selected Festival works will be featured in
large-scale

screenings at USC campus venues, on kiosks and via links on the 24/7
site.


We will primarily screen shorter works (5-15 minutes) and excerpts from

longer works.


Please submit your entry online at:


http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=_2fSIQfEtfNEgp5DwmmdqKcg_3d_3d


For consideration, works should be currently streaming on a public site

(youtube, google, yahoo, myspace, etc.) or on your own website.  If the

work was removed from the web, please note that in the comments
section of

the online entry form.


There is no entry fee to submit work.
