Little Islands Festival 2024

Little Islands Festival (LIF) is preparing for its new journey and is looking for creators with original ideas that recreate and invent compelling narratives, shared experiences and new worlds. This open call has a direct connection with the research project Homo Narrans implemented with the support of EFFEA „discovery” 2023. For about 8 months the project offered the ground for emerging artists to engage in a creative dialogue with people from the Balkan and Mediterranean regions, highlighting local narratives and new artistic projects based on filmmaking, new media, sound, video and photography.

We address:

Artists from Greece and abroad, art groups, emerging creatives, performers, filmmakers, musicians, dancers, architects, thinkers, activists, scientists, technologists, curators, educators and other creatives working in the field of hybrid practices.

Proposal Categories:

Documentary -Short Films – Animation – Video art – Interactive Film.
AudioVisual Performance – Storytelling Performances – Music – 3D Projection Mapping
Digital Storytelling (Mixed Reality Environments – Virtual Reality – Augmented Reality)
Interactive Installation – Storytelling Workshops for children/adults.

In addition to the screening programme (Short Film, Documentary, animation, video art) which is an important part of the festival, special emphasis will be placed on live act proposals, projects with mixed reality environments and works with a participatory and multi-sensory character.

Themes to be explored:

Cultural heritage, popular culture, oral tradition, collective memory, collective archetypes, nature and environment, futurity.

The selected proposals are scheduled to be presented in the summer of 2024 for the 6th edition of the Little Islands Festival (LIF), in the Cycladic settlement „Castle” of Sikinos and in various locations on the island.
