Transitland EUROPA is supported by the Culture 2007 Programme of the European Union.

Deadline: March 15, 2008

Transitland EUROPA (http://transitland.eu) invites artists, filmmakers, documentarists, and activists from the 10 new EU member-states to submit proposals for producing new videos that creatively interpret the phenomenon of "transition. " A jury will select 10 proposals, each receiving an award of 3000 euro for production, including expenses and fee.

Eligibility
Artists, filmmakers, documentarists, activists from Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia are eligible.
There are no age restrictions.

About Transitland EUROPA
Transitland EUROPA is a collaborative project between InterSpace in Bulgaria (http://www.i-space.org), D Media in Romania (http://www.dmedia.ro) and Videoaktiv in Germany (www.videoaktiv- berlin.org) to create a video archive of 100 works spanning 20 years, starting from the fall of the Berlin wall.

Since much of the history of the "new" European countries is being represented from the outside, this is an attempt to present a history from within. The archive will serve as a visual timeline of transition - from the shape of the revolutions, to the role of the media and consumerism, the various histories of privatisation, delocalisation, and migration, to the erasure of old borders and the creation of new ones. 90 older works (1989 to 2008) and 10 newly commissioned videos (2008) will be selected for the archive by a jury of co-organisers and external experts. The output of the project includes the production of archive jukeboxes and DVD compilations that will travel to different venues in Europe, a website and online version of the archive for international access, the production and distribution of a print publication and DVD insert, and a combination of screenings, exhibitions and conferences in Berlin (Feb 2009), Sofia (Mar 2009), and Bucharest (Apr 2009).

Welcome to the [Sofia] weblog, a part of the Kakanien Revisited weblog network. The Team - Dimiter, Assen and Mira - all three PhD students in the Department of History and Theory of Culture at the Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" will try to create an image - although sometimes a faceted and incoherent one - of the Bulgarian academia, culture, ongoing events, ideas, realities and virtual spaces. All of you - our readers - are warmheartedly invited to join us in this endeavor with your comments and suggestions.
