The SAT’s immersive department is calling for immersive film creations aimed at young audiences. This call for submissions is open to all types of imagination, fields and creative techniques (360° capture, illustration, 360° comics, animated film, 3D, game engine …). However, only projects in fulldome format will be considered for this call. Each film must be between 5 and 12 minutes. The selected films will be screened publicly in the Satosphère*. See detailed technical specifications below

 

 

 

NOTES

This call for submissions is open to all technical and stylistic approaches, prioritizing proposals which:

  • are aimed at a family audience
  • focus on creativity, imagination, sensory experience, legends and myths, freedom, play, movement
  • bring the public to actively experience and feel things before understanding them
  • offer observation time and awaken curiosity
  • develop rational, practical and sensitive thinking.

Our call encourages the creation and adaptation of original visual and audio content, free of any distribution constraints, made for all audiences.

Non-Francophone works are accepted in this call. However, the artist must plan for the integration of French subtitling.

The SAT wishes to encourage different cultural communities, Indigenous peoples, all gender identities and age groups to participate, including first artistic experiences.

**Each project considered and selected by the jury will be awarded a dissemination fee. The amount will not exceed $1,500 CAD per project.
