Screening the best films by women directors from around the world
12th Annual MadCat Women's International Film Festival Entry Form 2009 Tour
BRIEF MISSION
The MadCat Women's International Film Festival was founded in 1996 to exhibit provocative and visionary works that are original in their use of the medium. MadCat is committed to showcasing women directors who challenge the use of sound and image and explore notions of visual story telling. MadCat sets itself apart from other women's festivals by curating its programs thematically and thus accepting a range of films about many different issues. By providing a dedicated exhibition venue MadCat encourages women and girls to take creative control behind the camera, increasing visibility and opportunity for women in the arts.
MadCat accepts submissions for a national touring program. The Festival curates approximately 12 programs of films and videos to tour around the country to universities, art houses, museums and microcinemas. The tour takes place each Fall.
CHANGES at MADCAT
This is an exciting year of change at MadCat. We are transforming from an annual event to an expanded seasonal touring Festival. As always we will continue to seek out and show the best avant-garde work by women directors everywhere. The 2009 touring Festival will offer all our wonderful programs to more venues across the country. The new schedule for the open call for
submissions is now exclusively for touring works, which will be selected by May 1, 2009, for a national tour to begin in the fall of 2009. The expanded tour will reach audiences at venues around the country. Past venues include:
Anthology Film Archives, Brown University, Harn Museum of Art, Harvard Film Archive, PRATT, the RISD Museum of Art, and University of Michigan, among
others.
