The Golden Pixel Cooperative invites artists to apply for the
GPC Lab! The Lab offers support and dramaturgical guidance for short or medium-length innovative, experimental film, video
or moving image works. The programme will take place between late 2023 and late 2024. Three artists will be invited to participate
with their submitted projects.
PROGRAMME
The GPC Lab offers a framework
for the production of film, video and moving image works in different phases of production. The focus is on individual dramaturgical
advice and is defined according to the needs of the project. The dramaturgical advice can be focussed on various concerns
(e.g. script writing, editing, documentary filming,...) and the consultation dates can be freely chosen within the programme
period. The choice of dramaturg is made in consultation between the organisers and the Lab participants. In addition,
participants are offered the opportunity to benefit from the exchange and synergies of the Lab group and the connection with
the GPC. The Lab aims to create a productive, artistic-social environment for the realisation of the film projects. In a final
presentation, the projects will be offered a platform for visibility and discourse (such as a workshop format or the presentation
of the finished artistic work).
An external jury will select three projects from the submissions to participate
in the Lab. The open call is aimed at artists who would benefit from the programme and would appreciate the Lab accompanying
their projects, free of charge.
The Golden Pixel Cooperative (GPC) is an association
for moving images, arts and media, active within both exhibition and cinema contexts. It was founded from the need to act
collectively in a predominantly individual cultural landscape. With a critical, feminist and antidiscriminatory approach,
we work on the production, distribution, and presentation of artworks and discourses. We foster empowerment and solidarity
by enabling exchange and support between artists, cultural workers, educators and thinkers. Collectively, we work on projects
that have various formats such as screenings, exhibitions, symposia and publications.
