About the Call for Entries
The Sangre de Cristo Arts Center announces a Call for Entries for art films to be exhibited during our Hollywood and Film-themed exhibtions during the summer of 2008. We seek works that explore the convergence of art and film with an emphasis on Colorado. We are particularly interested in films that focus on visual aesthetic through contemporary film-making techniques. We want films that relate to Colorado, are filmed in Colorado or produced by Colorado filmmakers. We support and encourage work that displays creative excellence.
Guidelines/Submission
Length:
Your film must be less than 20 minutes long. The running time includes closing credits, so your film cannot run over 20 minutes if you're running closing credits. There are no restrictions on genre or number of submitted works.
Format Compatibility:
Only DVDs are eligible for entry. DVDs must be a Region 1 DVD-R format (DVD minus-R). Dvds must be finalized and "compatibility tested" on a different DVD player than the one used to burn the entry. Make sure audio is mixed onto one channel and that there are no problems with the DVD. DVDs should be set to auto start and repeat. Please do not send data files burned onto a DVD.
Submission Details:
Each submission should be labeled with:
-
Title of entry
-
Production Company
-
Director/Filmaker with contact information (address, phone, and email)
-
Synopsis in English
-
Running time of entry
Deadline for submissions is March 28, 2008. Submissions are $10.00 for the 1st submission and $8.00 for each additional submission from the same director/filmmaker.

Disclaimers
The DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS is March 28, 2008. While the DVDs must reach us no later than the specified date, we would appreciate submissions in advance. Please note only work received by 5pm on the 28th of March will be considered for submission.
Notification regarding the selection decisions will be issued by June 15, 2008. Due to the volume of entries to be considered, we are unable to supply individual explanations for our decisions. Unsuccessful submissions will not be returned.
Directors/Filmmakers should own copyrights for all DVDs submitted and should have clearance to air the film during this exhibition.
By submitting a work, you agree that film clips [not more than 2 minutes long, or 2/3 length of original piece, whichever is shorter] may be used for publicity and related materials [including TV, brochure, poster, program and web site].
All legal rights and copyright remains with the producer of the work. If your submission is accepted, you grant the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center permission to showcase your submission in the Film Colorado Exhibition at the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center.
