TBCTV by Somerset House Open Call

TBCTV is an installation and performance space in the form of a TV studio, created by Somerset House Studios residents Chloe Lamford, Mel Brimfield and Ewan Jones Morris during Frieze week (03-07 Oct 2018). The sculptural set in the Lancaster Rooms will operate as a publicly accessible exhibition context for embedded screens featuring a regularly updated schedule of moving image work. Playwrights and artists will devise live works for the set, with the same small repertory company of actors appearing in each piece.

We are launching an international call for existing single channel film and video work to add to a curated programme that includes work by Tamy Ben Tor, Sol Calero and Dafna Maimon, Kalup Linzy, Mary Reid Kelley, Bedwyr Williams and Rachel Maclean. We are looking for submissions that respond loosely to the broad theme of ‘Television’. We are particularly interested in approaches including performance for camera and expanded script writing practices spanning character-based monologue, adaptation, found footage collage, and repurposing of generic TV formats, but will consider all moving image work of interest. Work under ten minutes is preferable, but longer works considered.

Deadline 31 August 2018
