The latest from our upcoming festival, and below that the abridged call for entries. Visit http://www.liquidfridge.co.za/icebox for further details.
Hope to see someone on this forum enter 
…
As this year's ICEBOX moving image fest hots up and we try not to melt away into pixelated mush, we are pleased to announce that, in addition to artist and project features on the website and DVD, selected entries will appear in our media partners' publications - premier South African creative magazines Enjin and BRAND.
Submissions close in just over 6 weeks, so be sure to enter your music videos, documentaries, narrative pieces, abstract experimentations, VJ'd performances, and other instances of moving image in good time.
Whether you are a part-timer, student or professional, or express through film, video or animation, this is a level screening/playing field and we look forward to your participation. We also encourage all art collectives, festivals, media/film schools, and venues to contact us should they wish to take part or host a screening, and receive press coverage as an ICEBOX partner.
Please note that we will be accepting entries at our evening workshops on 27 July and 3 August at CAPE Africa in Cape Town (see http://www.liquidfridge.co.za/upload), meaning you can meet like-minded folk and forego going postal at the same time. Just bring along your entries on DVD/CD, stills on CD, and a completed submission form for each entry (will be available if you cannot enter online or have not downloaded one).
In next month's update, we open the call for workshop presenters and performers at the AV club nights in Cape Town, Durban and Jo'burg.
As usual, we would appreciate your help with spreading the good word.

Liquid Fridge, partnered with MTKidu and rustpunk, and endorsed by Creative Commons SA, presents ICEBOX 02 – an open, collaborative festival exploring the intersection of film, art, music and design in South African moving image. The festival will facilitate creative collisions of genres and artists in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg in November 2006 through screenings, audiovisual club nights and mini-workshops.
We have committed ourselves to providing an accessible space where independent South African creators can present their exploits. Now, we challenge you to participate!
Call for Entries
ICEBOX is calling for moving image work by both established and emerging South African artists, in the genres of Design/Experimental, Documentary, Music Video, Narrative, and VJ/Live. Entries must be submitted in digital format but may incorporate any non-digital means – 16mm, DV, claymation, stop-frame animation – anything goes. Innovation is the main criterion, whether through creative use of technology or a storyline with a twist.
We encourage all animators, storytellers, documentary filmmakers, bands and music video producers, VJs and experimental artists - student or professional - to take advantage of this opportunity to screen their work around South Africa. Collectives, festivals and media/film schools are also welcome to share their archive with us.
For the more open-minded artists, we also have a Creative Commons DVD compilation calling for source material and finished works. Internationally, artists like the Beastie Boys, Chuck D. and Pearl Jam have released their work under Creative Commons licence.
Entry is free, and you may submit multiple works. The final deadline is Friday 18 August 2006.
