Following the recent open call for films for the 2025 festival, Light Moves Festival is now calling for proposals for its Beyond Screen presentation platform in Limerick, Ireland.
Building on the success of the Open Format (now called Beyond Screen) presentations in Light Moves 2023, they are inviting proposals that go beyond the parameters of the festival’s screening programmes. These proposals may include: debates, exploratory workshops, performance-lectures, talks, discussion groups, performances, listening sessions, sitting or walking sessions, broadcasts, parties, podcasts, manifestos, publications, research-oriented projects, and performance. These can be programmed in studio, in public spaces, on stage, online or outdoors.
The festival invites dance artists, screendance makers, arts practitioners, sound artists, performers, scholars and all those contributing to dance, film and media arts to share proposals. The festival is interested in hearing what artists are creating, exploring, investigating and why. What are the questions and conversations that are driving the work and research? What are the key topics or areas of focus that warrant attention in the interconnected fields of dance, screendance, film, or media arts, as they evolve across cultures and geographies at this time?
The Festival’s 8th programme is developing while reflecting on the words Listening, Care, Connection, Beginnings and Endings, and Joy.
The festival covers the following: Production and marketing support, a fee of 600 EUR, and contribution toward travel costs (agreed in advance and based on vouched receipts).
