Seeking motion portraiture and self-portraiture in any media which can be screened in video (including film, video, motion graphics, animation, programming, game interfaces, flip books, etc.). What is a motion portrait? Is there such a thing? What distinguishes motion portraits from biographical films and documentaries? Portraiture and self-portraiture have fascinating histories in painting, drawing, sculpture and photography, but what has happened to the form of the portrait in the digital age? Are contemporary filmmakers, video artists, animators and programmers pushing the disciplines of the portrait and self-portrait into motion?

Accepting all artworks which can be screened in video (including film, video, motion graphics, animation, programming, game interfaces, flip books, etc.) Please send submissions as .mov data files with current CV/resume and artist statement to df278@cornell.edu or mail DVD to:
