FLEX, the Florida Experimental Film/Video Festival, is now accepting submissions for its third biennial competitive festival taking place February 17-22, 2009 in Gainesville, FL. The exclusive focus of the festival is on experimental short media, but we encourage artists to challenge us to rethink what “experimental” means. Work may draw on documentary, animation, avant garde, underground, or other traditions—-or no traditions at all. Cash and in-kind prizes will be awarded in each of 4 categories (film/video, small/large). Previous jurors have included Craig Baldwin, Naomi Uman, Mike Plante, and Tony Gault. In addition, the festival has hosted numerous filmmakers including Jim Trainor, Leighton Pierce, Deborah Stratman, Bill Brown, Jim Finn, Robert Todd, and Scott Stark.

Entry form and guidelines available at <www.flexfest.org>. The regular entry deadline is October 1, but we encourage early submission.

No entry fee for festival alumni or for international entries.
