\"Khora<\/a><\/p>\n

We are happy to announce\u00a0Kh\u00f4ra Residency<\/strong>, a new 10-day residency program for cinema and sound artists, on the Cycladic island of Syros. The residency will play host to a select group of artists working on film\/video and sound\/music, for an intensive collaborative project. The program is a joint initiative by Syros Sound Meetings and Syros International Film Festival.<\/p>\n

Kh\u00f4ra<\/strong>\u00a0will take place at the Syros Institute, housed in a refurbished 16th-century Jesuit Monastery in Ano Syros. Up to 12 active film-makers\/video artists and musicians\/ sound artists with a documented track record and interest in site-specific, documentary, experimental and\/or cross-media projects will be given the opportunity to stay at the premises and work in group to create original, collaborative sound-film works on the theme of Kh\u00f4ra, a key term in ancient and contemporary philosophies of place (including Plato, Derrida, Kristeva and others). The resultant works will be screened as completed or in-progress projects at the end of the residency, and as part of the Syros International Film Festival. Participants will also have the opportunity to work with two internationally acclaimed guest artists,\u00a0Michael Pisaro<\/strong>\u00a0(composer, California Institute of the Arts) and\u00a0Deborah Stratman<\/strong>\u00a0(artist & filmmaker, University of Illinois at Chicago), who will also contribute their own projects.<\/p>\n

An important aspect of the residency is the required collaboration between cinema and sound artists. In various sized groups formed ad hoc and on site, joint projects will be undertaken, with the artists sharing responsibility in the development, production and editing of their projects. We hope that this dialogue will produce multi-faceted, hybrid pieces that will reflect different aesthetic and intellectual concerns and pay witness to distinct artistic processes; indeed, each piece will \u2018come from different places\u2019. Artists interested in the combination of visual and sound art, who have experience (or stake) in various disciplines at any level, are encouraged to apply. Please note that the working language of the residency will be English.<\/p>\n
