Call for Submissions: Deadline: Fri 22 September 12.00pm. The Bigger Picture is a curated programme that screens and commissions work by established and emerging practitioners, whilst also calling for entries up to five times a year, in an attempt to seek out exciting and original moving image works that will capture the imaginations of what is an essentially fleeting, yet diverse audience.
The Big Screen Manchester is a 25 square metre video screen with full sound system situated in Exchange Square, a public area regenerated after the IRA bomb in 1996, that has an estimated daily footfall of 50,000 people. The Manchester screen broadcasts 24 hours a day, with sound muted at night
The Bigger Picture is a Cornerhouse project, run in partnership with BBC Manchester, established to exhibit selections of the best moving image work being produced today. Standing outside of a traditional gallery context, the programme offers a platform for artists’ film & video, short films, and artistic community moving image.
Submissions are selected by a panel of local artists, filmmakers and curators, in addition to Cornerhouse’s Media Curator and a BBC representative. To submit please download an application form from the Cornerhouse website: www.cornerhouse.org/art/biggerpicture or alternatively contact Helen Wewiora, Media Curator, at helen.wewiora@cornerhouse.org or on 0161 200 1507.
