BUDAPEST INTERNATIONAL FOTO AWARDS is an international platform for photographers from all levels and genres to share their best images with the creative community in Hungary and Eastern Europe.

We know that every image has a story to tell, and this is the place to tell it!

Little Islands Festival (LIF) is preparing for its new journey and is looking for creators with original ideas that recreate and invent compelling narratives, shared experiences and new worlds. This open call has a direct connection with the research project Homo Narrans implemented with the support of EFFEA “discovery” 2023.

  
**For about 8 months the project offered the ground for emerging artists to engage in a creative dialogue with people from the Balkan and Mediterranean regions, highlighting local narratives and new artistic projects based on filmmaking, new media, sound, video and photography.**

  
LIF 2024 expands upon this topic to create an enriched platform for exchange and dialogue that places narrative within the community and simultaneously takes it out of it, stirring up new and multiple realities that play with difference but oppose erasure.

  
**Festival Identity:** Outdoor – dialogues with the public space -intimate dialogue between humans, natural landscapes and cultural heritage

  
Assuming the world is a set of events signified by words, man’s access to it becomes primordially oral, eliciting the idea not of Homo Sapiens but of Homo Narrans, that “narrative animal” with an irrepressible tendency and need to communicate, interpret and symbolize the world through its stories. Myths, legends, antiquities, folktales, novels, epics, paintings, and more recently, films, interactive books, video games, interactive narratives, from everyday narrations to scientific theories and the hegemonic narratives through which societies define themselves, man has sought to conjure up fear and time, to transcend anxiety and the unpredictable, to give his life meaning, purpose and intention, to inhabit the world with anthropomorphic actors, to understand it and sometimes to deconstruct it.

  
The new LIF 2024 open call, taking the mythical landscape of Aegean Sea as its inspiration and contemporary art as its medium, seeks to highlight works that unravel the thread of narrative through the past and the future, the visible and the occult, the local and the supra-local, the traditional and the mythical, the natural and the cultural. What narratives are we in need of to reconnect today?

The selected proposals are scheduled to be presented in the summer of 2024 for the 6th edition of the Little Islands Festival (LIF), in the Cycladic settlement “Castle” of Sikinos and in various locations on the island.

  
Participants in the category of screenings will have 50% discounted costs for accommodation and ferry tickets from Piraeus port to Sikinos island and back.

  
**Participants in the live acts and workshops categories will receive support:**

* Airfare costs up to 200 euros per person
* Accommodation costs
* Ferry ticket costs
* Coverage of technical equipment
* In any applications to secure additional funding

Little Islands Festival 2024

 Ever since the 18th century, the world of art has given us landscapes that attest to the urban changes imposed by the industrial and technological development of that time.

  
With this call LoosenArt wants to collect photographic, video and digital visual design works capable of offering visions of present-day landscapes dominated by human presence.

  
The works on display will address the theme through the many aspects that concern the relationship between man and environment, all this from a perspective that focuses on different levels of interest, such as anthropological, social, historical, cultural, political and environmental.

FREE ENTRY Photographers, Visual Designers and Video Artists are invited to submit 1 up to 3 works addressing the theme.

**Thanks for your interest in the 20th annual Giant Incandescent Resonating Animation Festival!**

  
GIRAF is a celebration of independent animation, a showcase of the best of what's being created here in Canada and around the world. Each year, we scour the globe for the most astounding, inventive, beautiful, mind-altering and unexpected animated films out there. For our 2023 festival, we brought 60+ shorts and features to animation fans across Alberta on our online platform and in cinema from Nov 17 -20.

In 2022 we were happy continue the festival in cinema with in-person screenings, however we learned over the pandemic that GIRAF serves an online audience as well. Screening a festival through secure online platforms does make these films accessible to communities of people that might not be able to make it to the cinema. So in 2022-23, GIRAF was offered in a hybrid (online and in-person) festival format for the first time in it's 18 year history. We are hoping to keep this mix of in-person and online format for GIRAF 20!

  
**We pay every filmmaker we show!**
