Interbay Cinema Society
Our mission is to provide goods and services to filmmakers who work outside of what the mainstream conception of filmmaking is.
We are happy to announce the next round of Lightpress grant recipients . These fine filmmakers will each receive a three hour block of time to have high quality 2K and 4K scans of their 16 and 35mm films. These grants are giving out twice a year, January and July.
“Engauge”, a new experimental film festival based in Seattle, WA, invites you to submit your work.
Created to highlight and augment the work of the Lightpress Grants offered twice yearly by Interbay Cinema Society, “Engauge” will consider only films that originated on film. That means that somewhere in the filmmaking process, you the filmmaker actually worked directly with celluloid, either by loading it into a camera and shooting film, or looking through and selecting found film footage, or directly scratching, painting, drawing onto or collaging footage.
We are interested primarily in short films, since we have a limited number of festival slots available. We are also committed to a festival that reflects the international and diverse nature of experimental work.
Each film accepted for screening will received a $200 honorarium. No Entry Fee.
Festival Deadline: September 15, 2018.
Festival Dates: November 8-10, 2018.
We are very happy to announce our next 10 Lightpress grant recipients and they are :
Vera Brunner-Sung
Sandra Davis
Carl George
Lynn Marie Kirby
Kerry Laitala
Cynthia Madansky
Andrew Mausert-Mooney
Nina Menkes
