Deadline: 31 May 2026
Call for entries

LOVE – POWER – PEACE – The future is now!

LOVE – POWER – PEACE – was the key slogan of the younger generation in the 1960s. At that time, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, with its confrontation of opposing ideological blocs, inequality on all levels, and civil rights movements, led to a desire for peace, equality, and fraternity, and especially to a willingness to bring about change in society, both internally and externally, through an overflowing spiritual and physical energy. This was also reflected in the art and musical movements of the time.

How similar the images are today! Today, war in Ukraine, the confrontation between democratic and politically authoritarian blocs, growing inequality between rich and poor, and unstoppable climate change, coupled with the danger of losing all the achievements of the past decades, have led to a desire for peace, equality, sustainability as living perspectives for future generations. But where is the necessary spiritual and physical energy?

This is the theme of this new project, curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne for “The New Museum of Networked Art.” Artists working with moving images are invited to submit their new videos that visualize this spiritual and physical energy using innovative content and design methods.

Please use the following entry form for submitting videos only which have not been submitted before and use for each submitted video a separate entry form.

Open Call for the 22nd Athens Digital Arts Festival

The Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF), the international festival of digital arts of Greece, announces its open call for participation for its 22nd edition, to be held in Spring 2026 in Athens.

Titled “META–MORPHOSIS”, the 22nd Athens Digital Arts Festival focuses on transformation as an ongoing process of change, situated at the intersection of nature and technology, past and present, reality and vision. The theme explores environmental, social, cultural, and technological shifts that affect ecosystems, landscapes, and the ways we perceive and experience the world.

Through a wide range of digital and hybrid practices, ADAF 2026 investigates issues of decay and regeneration, memory and loss, preservation and transformation. Participating works are invited to function as tools for observation and reflection, translating complex and often invisible processes—such as climate change and technological acceleration—into experiences that stimulate public dialogue.

Artists, scientists, technologists, researchers, thinkers, forms of artificial intelligence, and creators of all kinds are invited to submit their proposals via 2026.adaf.gr by Sunday, February 1st, 2026. The open call applies to 12 festival categories: Video Art, Animation, Digital Image, Installation, Web Art, Games, AR/VR/XR, Talks, Workshops, Kids, Performance, and Music.

From nature to light, change becomes art.
Live the transformation.

Deadline: 6 February 2026
Call for entries

2026 West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival
Dates: March 4 – 8, 2026
Location: Morgantown, West Virginia, USA

The West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival invites submissions in video/film, animation, VR, video installation & performance to its 13th edition, which takes place March 4 – 8, 2026 on the campus of West Virginia University. We’re looking for innovative, provocative, highly charged and deeply personal works in a variety of genres and themes. This year we also welcome submissions to a special thematic category, exploring new insights into evolving definitions and understandings of Time, in all of its many contexts. Deadline for entries is February 6, 2026.

SUBMISSION CATEGORIES: We welcome works in a broad range of styles and categories:
•?????Experimental
•?????Short Narrative
•?????Documentary
•?????Animation
•?????Student Work
•?????Works focused on the theme of Time
•?????Two-channel video installation

Time Theme:
In addition to our regular categories, we invite short film, video, media installation, and performance works that deal with meanings and experiences of time. This year the West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival coincides with the weekend when we turn clocks forward in observance of Daylight Saving Time. We would like to take this opportunity to issue a call for film and video works that ruminate on light and darkness, the malleability of time, the geological, social, and philosophical meanings of time, as well as the fleeting or expansive experience of time. How does the experience of time change in a world marked by instantaneous communication across long distances? How can time slow when we step outside the constraints of the industrial workday? How can the technological manipulation of light in film augment our experience of time? As AI and machine learning move us ever closer to realtime simulations reality, how does our sense of time speed up or collapse in on itself? What changes when realtime video technologies intersect with the meticulous sculpting of the editing timeline of film? How do our technologies warp or reify natural and artificial notions of time? How can the mind distort or dissolve the experience of time?
Agreements:

• Maximum running time of 15 minutes.
• Works must have been completed after January 1, 2024.
• Separate entry form and fee required for each entry.

The festival promotes a free and stimulating platform for sharing, showcasing what is usually neglected or rejected due to its departure from conventional approaches to making and interpreting cinema.
