Tour de Film and Loud Media
MUSEEK Second International Music Video Festival
Saint-Petersburg, Russia , November 2009


The Second International Music Video Festival MUSEEK [which became the first
ever event of such kind in Russia] organized by Tour de Film and Loud Media
comes back after a successful premiere season. The deadline for the
Festival’s office to receive the required submission materials, is
September
1st 2009.

2008 brought us a vast number of things to remember: lots of great films,
hundreds of entries from filmmakers like Marie Losier, Jodie Mack, Clay
Lipsky, Keith Schofield and Markus Wambsganss; stunning programs which
included retrospective of works by Michel Gondry, a documentary on Sonic
Youth, reels from our friends moves [Manchester / UK] and International
Short Film Festival in Lille [Lille / France]; still on going tour which
already brought the festival to over ten Russian cities, Austria and France
with USA, Germany, UK and Switzerland to come; fantastic reviews, competent
jury and happy audience.


But what 2009 will bring us?

This year we are going to make it all even bigger: live audiovisual shows,
concerts, DJs, specials, curated programs and films of all kinds; greater
festival’s invasion in Saint-Petersburg and extended tour network.

And to make our ideas come true — we need your help and support. We are not
asking for money — we’d rather get your terrific works submitted,
fantastic
ideas, curated programs, propositions for cooperation and advises.

We are open to all works show the interaction of video and audio, films that
challenge popular and commercial model of music video. No matter where, how,
for whom and when you’ve made it. If it’s really interesting —
we’ll screen
it.
