What Doesn’t Kill Us Makes Us Drought Tolerant
What Doesn’t Kill Us Makes Us Drought Tolerant is an eco-film festival in its first year, calling for broad, adventurous submissions that engage with life atop a planet in crisis. We welcome films about climate change, conservation, ecology, renewable energy, rewilding, permacomputing, water scarcity, drought, pollution, biodiversity, habitat loss, recycling, permaculture, environmental justice, or the numerous applicable topics that emerge in questions about our planet through the media of short films.
Submit in thematic categories where short documentaries, narrative, poetic, experimental, and difficult to classify are all welcome. Each category will be shaped by a guest curator or curatorial team, giving the festival a dynamic collection of provocations and questions for viewers of all ages. The festival will screen live in person on November 27 in the Wayne L. Prim Theater as a free event in the spirit of “Buy Nothing Day.”
Early Deadline Sept 1st.
Final Deadline Oct 1st.
Submit on FilmFreeway.
Calendar As Self Portrait
Unrequited Leisure seeks mail art submissions on the broad topic of time keeping as an extension of one’s own image. Mail of all sizes will be included in an online exhibition that should address a range of investigations from our abstract relationship to time or to our very attention to the calendar as an organizing tool for an artist’s life. Like all technology, the calendar is an extension of the human faculties, perhaps even more obviously as the artist approaches the device, and effectively their own image, their composition of self over time. Send screenshots, post-its, reminder lists, artwork on save-the-dates, outlook invitations, artworks on calendars, artistic understandings of time, and every possible variation on the theme.
If it arrives it shows.
Artwork will not be returned.
Artists credited as listed on the material.
Final deadline Dec 31, 2026.
