We want the film exhibition sector to work more closely with artists to create new work for performance in cinemas, film festivals and events across the UK. Live Cinema UK has commissioned audiovisual shows for abandoned film ideas, immersive theatre for new releases, many live scores and theatrical experiences around the world. We’re looking for the next cohort of live cinema talent, whether you work in music, theatre, dance or audiovisual work. If you love film, we want to hear from you.

Supported by Arts Council England, Live Cinema UK is launching a targeted programme of sector development for artists and producers in the emerging field of ‘live cinema’: film screenings augmented by performance, theatrical, musical, spoken word, digital or dance content. You can find out more about live cinema via our website and the Live Cinema Network.

Selected applicants will be invited to attend a targetted workshop and will then be invited to pitch ideas for new live cinema works. Three pitches will be awarded up to £5000 to develop works which will be premiered in 2018 at the second Live Cinema Conference where you will perform in front of a public audience alongside an international audience of cinema, festival and arts programmers. You can find out about the 2016 Live Cinema Conference here.

FULL DETAILS INCLUDING GUIDELINES AND APPLICATION FORM ARE AVAILABLE HERE.
