Call for Entries: ArteEast invites filmmakers of the Middle East and its Diasporas to submit new work for inclusion in the CinemaEast Film Festival, a week-long festival to be held at the Quad Cinema in New York City, November 4 - 10, 2005. ArteEast has been promoting the visibility and awareness of the diverse arts and cultures of the Middle East in the United States since 2003. ArteEast is the first organization of its kind, and its flagship program, the year-round screening and discussion series, CinemaEast was named by New York Magazine one of the "top emerging film programs in the city" and is about to complete its fourth successful season at the Cantor Film Center at New York University (NYU). The first annual CinemaEast Film Festival will host recent releases, premières in New York and in the US, and works by emerging filmmakers, selected by an international committee of respected filmmakers and critics, with an emphasis on exceptional feature films that have not yet gained distribution and exposure in the US. The festival will include a special program of shorts (fiction and non-fiction) dedicated to filmmakers from the Middle Eastern diasporas in the US. The CinemaEast series will continue at NYU in a revised format of year-round monthly screenings of documentary, experimental, rare and classic films followed by panel discussions. We welcome works in all formats and all genres which exemplify the rich, complex, challenging and provocative nature of filmmaking from the Middle East. Entries will be judged by a panel of distinguished filmmakers, critics and scholars. Click
