Annual screening of international

EXPERIMENTAL FILMS and VIDEOPOEMS

TRANÅS AT THE FRINGE Festival takes place every year in Tranås (Sweden) in the first week of July. The film screening is focused on short experimental films and videopoems from all over the world and it happens both in situ and online.

Here are a few more opportunities connected to the festival:

FILM TALKS: Every year, we select a bunch of filmmakers whose films are screened at the festival to have a talk about their film and their artistic practice.

You can chek some of the past interviews here.

A POET'S RESPONSE TO A FILM: Every year, some of the films screened at the festival have the possibility of receiving a poetic response from one of the poets participating in the festival.

You can chek some of the past responses here.

EKPHRASTIC POETRY AND SCREENING: A workshop in ekphrastic writing inspired by the films screened at the festival. The films together with the ekphrastic poem are then screened in Copenhagen at Nature & Culture film festival.

Kultivera and Region Jönköping invite filmmakers of various styles, backgrounds and nationalities to apply for a ten-day funded residency in the Swedish town of Tranås.

The filmmakers' residency will start on the 28th of June and end on the 7th of July. Much of the residency period will coincide with the multidisciplinary arts festival TRANÅS AT THE FRINGE, which takes place between the 29th of June and the 6th of July. At the festival you can expect to meet artists, poets, writers, musicians, dancers and other filmmakers. If selected, you will be encouraged to work on your projects during the residency. In conversations with other interdisciplinary artists, you may share your own creative process and gain inspiration from processes learned from other disciplines. You will have an opportunity to share and present some of your film projects during the festival. Accommodation and subsistence costs will be covered by the host organisations.

The residency participants will need to provide for their own technical needs such as computer and camera equipment.

Residency dates: 28th of June to 7th of July

Deadline for submission: 29 March

To submit for the residency send a one page motivation letter to spegelfilm@gmail.com.

Kultivera och Region Jönköping bjuder in filmskapare oavsett nationalitet och stil att delta på ett tiodagars residens i Tranås.

Residenset startar den 28 juni och slutar den 7 juli. En stor del av residenstiden kommer att sammanfalla med den konstnärliga festivalen TRANÅS AT THE FRINGE, som äger rum mellan 29 juni och 6 juli. Tranås at The Fringe är en festival med flera konstnärliga utryck och du kan förvänta dig att träffa artister, poeter, författare, musiker, dansare och andra filmskapare. Vid antagning till residenset kommer du att uppmuntras att arbeta med ditt egna filmprojekt. Men vi uppmuntrar att delta i samtal med andra kreatörer på festivalen. Detta brukar leda till inspiration och nya insikter samt nya intressanta kreativa processer. Du kommer att dela med dig av din process och presentera något av dina filmprojekt under festivalen. Kostnader för boende och mat kommer att täckas av Region Jönköping och Kultivera. Sökande står för sina egna resekostnader till Tranås.

Deltagaren tar själv med tekniskt utrustning till exempel kamera och redigeringsdator.

Residensdatum: 28 juni till 7 juli
