The Golden Pixel Cooperative invites artists to apply for the GPC Lab! The GPC Lab offers support and dramaturgical guidance for short or medium-length innovative, experimental film, video or moving image works. The programme will take place between late 2024 and late 2025. Three artists will be invited to participate with their submitted projects on this year's topic "Timecodes. Temporality and Consequences".
Programme
How can time concepts that take different lived realities into account be artistically conceived and realized? What do temporalities mean in relation to the social and political structures that organize them and through which they are shaped?
We invite artists to use specific approaches to explore, reflect on and construct the experience and representation of time.
Terms such as:
Time Accessibility, Actuality,
Memory. Cut
Sick Time, Sleepy Time. Ancestral Time,
Productivity,
Sustainability! Process?
Crip Time, Queer Time, Quality Time, Future.
Chrononormativity, measurement. History,

Cycle, Biography. Temporal and racial justice

offer initial impulses for the topic of this year's GPC Lab.
The GPC Lab offers a framework for the production of film, video and moving image works in different phases of production. The focus is on individual dramaturgical advice and is defined according to the needs of the project. The dramaturgical advice can be focussed on various concerns (e.g. script writing, editing, documentary or virtual filming,...) and the consultation dates can be freely chosen within the programme period. The choice of dramaturg (GPC external experts) is made in consultation between the organizers and the Lab participants.
In addition, participants are offered the opportunity to benefit from the exchange and synergies of the Lab group and the connection with the GPC (invitations to workshops, network meetings and jour fixes). The Lab aims to create a productive, artistic-social environment for the realization of the film projects.
In a final presentation, the projects will be offered a platform for visibility and discourse (such as a workshop format or the presentation of the finished artistic work).
A GPC-external jury will select three projects from the submissions to participate in the Lab. The open call is aimed at artists who would benefit from the programme and would appreciate the Lab accompanying their projects, free of charge.
The Golden Pixel Cooperative (GPC)
is an association for moving images, arts and media, active within both exhibition and cinema contexts. It was founded from the need to act collectively in a predominantly individual cultural landscape. With a critical, feminist and anti-discriminatory approach, we work on the production, distribution, and presentation of artworks and discourses. We foster empowerment and solidarity by enabling exchange and support between artists, cultural workers, educators and thinkers. Collectively, we work on projects that have various formats such as screenings, exhibitions, symposia and publications.
