OPEN CALL FOR ARTS ORGANIZATIONS / COLLECTIVES / SPACE-MAKERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEXT ARTIST BAILOUT

This is an open call for applications to the third iteration of the Los Angeles- based project Artist Bailout! If your organization is chosen, you will have the opportunity to present a proposal to a live, voting audience for the chance to win an instant micro-grant to provide operational support or to help turn a new idea into a reality.

What is the Artist Bailout?

Citizens from Southeast Europe younger than 30 can submit short films - 30 minutes max - to a festival.

Balkans Beyond Borders Short Film Festival is seeking submissions on this year's theme "Talk to Me," a call for young people to get engaged in their culture.

The main objective of the project is to invite and motivate young people to create short films through which they reflect on their region's past, current and future situation. Film categories can be fiction, documentary, animation or experimental.

The production of the film has to be from a Southeast European country. Films from other nationalities are accepted as long as the film is a co-production with someone from the Balkans or the film deals or takes place in the Balkans.

Professional or amateur photographers can submit one photograph to a contest.

The International Photography Awards is hosting "One Shot: The City," a competition recognizing single-image shots that tell a story about any city worldwide.

A winner in each category - people, street photography and cityscapes - receives US$750 and has their photograph featured during the Month of Photography Los Angeles 2012.

Entry fees are US$20 per image.

The deadline to apply is December 15.

A new joint media project provides funds for documentary makers.

Until January 2012, The Economist and PBS NewsHour are funding short documentaries from Abu Dhabi to Albuquerque on a range of topics from astronomy to agriculture.

The aim of The Economist Film Project is to showcase the selected segments, films and filmmakers as broadly as possible.

The project seeks submissions of completed documentary films on a rolling basis continuing monthly through January 2012.

Both documentary shorts and feature-length films may be submitted. The Economist will provide filmmakers whose films are chosen with a US$4,000 grant to produce six to eight minutes of footage from the film to air on PBS NewsHour.
