Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers
Southern Circuit provides independent filmmakers with the opportunity to tour throughout the Southeastern United States, screen their work for new audiences, and engage those audiences in discussions about the work and its creation. Filmmakers selected for the 2009-2010 Southern Circuit will receive a $300 fee for each screening on the tour, paid travel expenses (domestic airfare and car rental) for the tour, and per diem for meals and lodging expenses. In return, selected filmmakers will travel to 8-10 designated venues throughout the Southeastern United States over a 10-12 day period, screen the selected feature-length project, engage audiences in a post-screening discussion, participate in program-related events coordinated by the host venues on the tour, and participate in the Southern Circuit blog and podcast interview to further promote the tour. For more information, go to www.southarts.org/southerncircuit or submit through www.withoutabox.com. Early deadline is January 23; standard deadline is February 6; late deadline is February 13. Southern Circuit is a program of the Southern Arts Federation.
