MEMIC Film Salon 1: Warpaint is the launch event of MEMIC (Midlands Experimental Moving Image Collective).

Each Film Salon will consist of a traditional screening and an exhibition of moving image installation works. There will be facilities for digital video projection, 16mm and 8mm film, slide projection, as well as a number of HD and CRT monitors.
This event is a great opportunity to showcase your work to an audience and to network with other filmmakers and moving image artists.
You are invited to submit innovative work which will be screened at MEMIC’s first Film Salon on Friday the 30 of November 2012. The program for the evening will be published on www.memic.co.uk
The first Film Salon will take place at Althorpe Studios and Gallery, Royal Leamington Spa. Leamington is just over an hour by train from London, and 30 mins from Birmingham, therefore strategically placed to become the centre of contemporary art in the UK. (yes!)
Format for submissions: DVD or weblink to video
Email your submissions to: michael.lightborne@gmail.com
Post your submissions to: MEMIC, Althorpe Studios and Gallery, Unit 6, Althorpe Industrial Estate, Althorpe Street, Leamington Spa, CV32 5AU, UK.
