MISSION STATEMENT
In an effort to further the appreciation and understanding of film in Baltimore and the surrounding areas the Metro Gallery presents VIDEOPOLIS, showing chosen works for free across the street from the Charles Theater during the Maryland Film Festival. To encourage creative interaction amongst as many people as possible the entire process will be without fees. This is not a competitive event. VIDEOPOLIS hopes to juxtapose various forms of film and video, along with other mediums that comment upon or investigate the moving image, together in a relaxed environment for the enjoyment of artists, festival-goers and random passers-by. With people on all sides of the lens exploring where the limits of the moving image may be pushed interesting, new and entertaining results are expected.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
The Metro Gallery of Baltimore is currently accepting submissions for VIDEOPOLIS to be held on May 2nd - 4th. We are looking for film and video shorts, video installation artists and performers who incorporate film or video into their work. We are also looking for paintings, sculpture, photography or any visual exercise that investigates the moving image.
