Get a Grant and Make a Film!

If you're in New York, mark you calendar for the Brooklyn Arts Council's Focus on Film and Media Grants Seminar.

ropes of researching and applying for grants? Hear straight from program officers at
two foundations supporting film and media in Brooklyn: Sean Elwood of Creative
Capital Foundation and Reva Goldberg of Cinereach."

The seminar is free. For more info, visit: http://www.brooklynartscouncil.org/documents/1510

The Guggenheim and You Tube

It's a great time for short film and video! The Guggenheim recently announced its newest venture, YouTube Play: A Biennial of Creative Video.

They explain:

"YouTube Play hopes to attract innovative, original, and surprising videos from around the world, regardless of genre, technique, background, or budget. This global online initiative is not a search for what's "now," but a search for what's next."

Submissions must be less than 10 minutes long. A panel will select up to 20 videos to play in October at Guggenheim's New York Berlin, Bilbao and Venice Museums.

The deadline for submissions is July 31st. To enter your work, go to http://www.youtube.com/play
