Subject: New Arab Video (title tba), deadline July 1.

Dear all,

I'm curating an exhibition of New Arab Video (haven't thought of a better title 
yet, any ideas?) for the 19th World Wide Video Festival (WWVF) in Amsterdam 
(Oct. 10 - Nov. 11). This is a great event with a long history of showing the 
most progressive videotapes being made. It is the first time that a complete 
program like this will be featured. It is also one of the few remaining video 
festivals and has a great social milieu surrounding it. CD-ROM's and websites 
can also be included/exhibited. Can you recommend any names/eddresses of people 
I should contact for their work? Also can you please forward this request to 
whoever who think may be interested and include my edress? The deadline for me 
to receive tapes is July 1st so there is not much time. 

I looking specifically for video art and experimental video works, or 
progressive nontraditional documentary works (this means non-tv works but can
include personal-essay type pieces or work that is challenging in content). Only 
works made in the Arab world or by Arab artists in the diaspora will be
considered. Dates of production should be after 1997.

Please send only vhs preview tapes. Preview tapes, cd-roms, or any other  
material will not be returned unless a self-addressed return envelope and 
adequate international postage is enclosed.

For more information on the World Wide Video Festival see, www.wwvf.nl/

Sincerely, 
Jayce
