International Limestone Coast Video Art Festival 2020

Presented by The Riddoch & Main Corner Complex, the *International
Limestone Coast Video Art Festival* is a biennial event that celebrates the
creation of Video Art and places special emphasis on innovative and
ground-breaking artworks.

*Video Art during and after the pandemic*, is this year’s theme of the
International Limestone Coast Video Art Festival, to be held from 6
November – 6 December 2020, at The Riddoch & Main Corner Complex, Mount
Gambier, South Australia.

We encourage socially responsive works created by video artists. Our 2020
program will include an exhibition, conference, screenings, and workshops.
We anticipate that the Festival will become a truly shared artistic space
and international story-telling of solidarity and community well-being.

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

*CALL FOR ENTRIES•••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
The Riddoch invites Australian and international video artists to send us
video works that convey how the global COVID-19 pandemic is affecting their
lives and practice. As we are trying to understand the current situation,
with many artists around the planet in lock-down or quarantine, facing the
physical, psychological, and emotional effects, artists are undoubtedly
coming up with creative solutions to the concerns and challenges caused by
the COVID-19.

We are bound to be a transformed society after the crisis. We, therefore,
invite you to share your video art stories, to address these issues! Many
of these stories will be addressing various anxieties, worries, and
economic strains. But, there are also optimistic stories, filled with
humour, contemplation, solidarity, community mindfulness, compassion, and
cheerfulness. They will have in common that they are all based on the lived
experience of COVID-19. Some of them will be collaborative.

Submissions are now open and Australian and international video artists are
invited to apply for a chance to win the following awards:

*AWARDS*
Grand Prize – $3,000
Best Limestone Coast Based Video Art – $1,500
Best Limestone Coast Based Video Art for young up-and-coming artists (under
26 years) – $1,500
