Light Reading Series 9
Films By Samantha Rebello
London Light Reading
Wednesday 29 July 2009, at 7pm
Light Reading’s ninth series continues with a screening of films by artist Samantha Rebello as a critical overview of her practice to date. She will be screening some recent work including The Object Which Thinks Us: OBJECT 1 (2007), In Suspension (2008), Division of the Tissues (2006) and The Surface of Residual Matter [sound by Angharad Davies](2006). She will also screen Outer Casings of A Few Small Creatures (2004) as well as some work in progress.
Samantha Rebello’s work demonstrates a prolonged exploration and interest in the composition of sound and image. Her work deals with the materiality of the filmic subject, its surfaces and tangibility, and through the friction and merging of the two (sound and image) reveals the links between them.

All works related to the moving image, interactive processes and digital media, and completed on or after January 1, 2006, are eligible for entry.
“New media” includes works using formats such as CD-ROM, the internet or other telecommunications technologies, etc., but not necessarily
requiring a particular type of presentation space.
Artists must maintain final edit and copyright control. We suggest that you inquire about whether our piece meets our mandate and likely capacity
to exhibit before submitting, particularly for works which require a great deal of technical support and/or very large exhibition spaces.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
All entrants must use the online form or submit a typed or clearly printed completed entry form for each work. All submissions must be postmarked 15 July 2008 [Final Deadline]. There is no entry fee for installation, new media or performance submissions; limit of 2 entries per person. Artist fees and technical costs are paid by the festival. Please include with your package:
- a synopsis of the work (including all technical requirements, layout diagrams, etc.)
- a brief biography and list of previous works
- complete production credits
- documentation of the work
Documentation may be in the form of video, good photographic prints or high-resolution (300 dpi or better) TIFF computer files on CD. Please label images and videos clearly with your name and the title of the work. Please do not email stills or submission information unless requested.
It is also very important that you include a detailed description of the technical requirements for exhibition. Please include (as applicable) layout drawings and plans, equipment needed, equipment supplied by the artist, internet or other telecommunications needs, and shipping requirements.
SHIPPING:
Submissions from outside Canada must include a Pro Forma Invoice attached to the outside of the package; this form should include contact information for the shipper (you) and the receiver (the Images Festival). Label using the following example as a guide: “DVD and photographs for film festival preview. Cultural use only. No commercial value. Replacement value $2.” Value the package only at the replacement cost of the blank media (e.g. about $2 to $3 for a DVD or CD), up to a maximum of $18 Canadian. Images will not pay Customs charges or duties for any mislabeled, overvalued or incorrectly shipped submissions. If shipping by courier, please keep your copy of the waybill until you have confirmed that the festival has received your submission.
