Please bear with us whilst the selection panel will be carefully reviewing your entries. We will notify you regarding the result by February 1st.
THE THEME - FRAMING MOTION
Under the theme Framing Motion, moves will explore how practitioners choose to frame movement through their choice of setting and context to define the boundaries for screen-based works. These can be real worlds or imaginary, abstract, impossible or augmented environments defined by a specific visual intent.
In looking at methods of capturing a sense of pulse and energy, we also investigate definitions of stillness: the dialogue of pause-and-release through which motion occurs: capturing - if only for a moment - the essence of life ablaze.
