The one-night occasion, dubbed Flicker Pageant, will unspool inside Culver Metropolis’s Culver Theater on Oct. 16. Submissions are now open for the initiatives, which might take any type from narrative and nonfiction to animation. Per the group, the time constraints of completed works beneath three minutes are in place to “showcase that even the smallest ‘flicker’ of time can uncover depths of emotion and depictions of intimacy.” Deadline for submissions is Sept. 15, and works will probably be chosen by Sept. 22.

Along with screening choices, Flicker Pageant will display screen scenes from John Cameron Mitchell’s specific movie Shortbus in addition to different notable movies with intimate scenes. The jury will probably be charged with presenting awards for greatest brief, greatest actor, greatest intimacy, greatest use of digital/synthetic intelligence and different awards.
