International Video Art Festival VIDEOHOLICA 2014 starts the new open call
for video art for its 7th edition

VIDEOHOLICA International Video Art Festival in Varna, Bulgaria starts the
new open call for video art submissions for its 7th edition.
The 7th VIDEOHOLICA will take place between 1st and 7th August 2014 in
Varna, Bulgaria.
This year's edition of VIDEOHOLICA will be accompanied by an international
panel discussion on the issues and opportunities for alternative video art
distribution and creating on-site archive of video art in Bulgaria.
The theme of VIDEOHOLICA 2014 is 7.
7 appears to be a hyper functional number featuring multiple typical
symbolic and meaningful encumbrances. According to many, 7 is a sacred or
primal number, a symbol of beginning and creation. Others define 7 as the
golden mean between the first number 1 and the odd 13. According to some,
7 symbolizes the end or death, because it closes a series of various human
phenomena in a cycle of 7, after which nothing happens. There are
concepts, according to which 7 symbolizes harmony, connectivity and
integrity bringing together 3 as a symbol of the intangible and
ideological and 4 – as that of intangible. If in this irrational
syncretism the disposition of 7 is also a base (beginning), medium, end,
and all taken together, then the math is definitely funny and a
hypothetical artistic study – very curious.
In its 7th year, VIDEOHOLICA recognizes 7 as its own existential
performativity, but not to highlight its existing complex symbolism but to
provoke new multidirectional thinking, associations and interpretations
beyond the real potentiality of 7. What does 7 count for/ depict? What is
more and what is less than 7? Is 7 enough? Where is the place of 7 in
today's multitudinous/ multifunctional world? With these and other
questions we are searching for poetic, abstract, ironic, conditional,
metaphoric and literal comments on the moving image, committed to
decompose the audio-visual and conceptual matrix of the figure 7.
VIDEOHOLICA 2014 will be again composed of the sections: video art, short
films and animation.
VIDEOHOLICA 2014 will award the following prizes:
First Prize – GOLDEN VIDEOHOLIC – EUR 1000
Second Prize – SILVER VIDEOHOLIC
Third Prize – BRONZE VIDEOHOLIC
Award for young Bulgarian author – BG VIDEOHOLIC
The 6th VIDEOHOLICA has a submission fee of EUR 15.
VIDEOHOLICA 2014 will accept both regular mail applications and online
applications.
VIDEOHOLICA 2014 OPEN CALL will run until 1st June 2014 and all
applications are very welcome.
