OBJECTIFS: Open Call 2021 for women in film & photography

Women photographers, filmmakers and visual artists who use film or photography, are invited to submit work for Objectifs’ 6th Women in Film & Photography Showcase. Selected work will be part of the print exhibition, slideshow/video installation, artist talks or screenings at Objectifs (Singapore) from Nov to Dec 2021.

The Women in Film & Photography Showcase at Objectifs is a tribute to the artists, photographers and filmmakers who have created works that tell stories with impact, break boundaries and inspire us.

Our theme this year is INHERITANCE.
Exploring notions of inherited identities and traditions, familial connections and stories, intergenerational memories and scars, public and private histories — Inheritance seeks to understand who we are. We are interested in work that interrogate these varied ideas and broaden our scope for dialogue.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? 
1. Photo essays or photo based work of any genre, based on the theme of Inheritance. Completed bodies of work or ongoing projects are both acceptable, and can be from any year of production. Selected work may be presented in a group print exhibition or slideshow presentation.

OR

Works should be 30 min and below in duration and available for screening in a digital file format, and can be from any year of production.

2. Our focus this year is on work from Southeast AsiaEast Asia (China, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau) and South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, and the Maldives).

4. Selection of works will be made by Women in Film & Photography programme curators Emmeline Yong and Leong Puiyee.
