MISSED CONNECTIONS
The camera sees something that the person using it does not — a luminous detail or furtive glance, a chance moment found only in retrospect. The phone goes to voicemail, and you are left trying to articulate something about a thought or a feeling or a moment to an audience of no one. The dream gets hopelessly lost in waking. A letter home will never fully communicate the place from which it was sent, and correspondence always registers distance besides. For the sixth issue of its annual Cinemazine, Canyon Cinema Foundation seeks writing, correspondence, film stills, artwork, artifacts, and other ephemera that can be reproduced in print on the theme of missed connections as it relates to artist-made cinema. Be expansive and imaginative in your approach. The deadline for proposals is Wednesday, April 10, with the expectation that submissions will be complete by mid-May. They can be sent to publications@canyoncinema.com, along with any questions you may have.
