SLIDELUCK ROMA





SLIDELUCK ROMA GOES TO ESTATE ROMANA – ROMA CAPITALE
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:

We are delighted to announce that, after 7 years, Slideluck Roma is returning in the Capital on Friday 4th September 2015

Slideluck Roma is possible thanks to the partnership with ARENE DI ROMA during the ESTATE ROMANA - ROMA CAPITALE.

SLIDELUCK is an international non-profit arts organization dedicated to building and strengthening community through food and photography. Since 2000, Slideluck has been bringing events that combine a multimedia slideshow with a potluck dinner to over 85 cities all over the world. It works as a platform for exposing photographers, curators, collectors, and editors to new work, in a creative and non-commercial environment.

ARENE DI ROMA is a non-profit art organization based in Rome that manages the screenings of more than 1,000 movies into 14 open-air cinemas installed in historical prestigious monuments.

The evening is art directed by Louise Clements (Artistic Director of QUAD & FORMAT International Photography Festival, Curator and Writer, UK); Giammaria De Gasperis (Photo Consultant, Photo Editor & Art Curator. RVM founder and Editorial Director); and Maria Teresa Salvati (Italy/UK, Curator, Director at Slideluck Europe; Editor-in-Chief at Slideluck Editorial).

Slideluck Roma team includes; Joseph La Mela (France, artists & entrepreneur, Director of Slideluck Roma); and Valentina Trisolino (Italy, Photography Historian and Curator. Founding member of Kult - Culture Visive Press and Media Partners).

The first edition of Slideluck Roma will be hosted in the center of Rome first district at a short distance from the Colosseum, at CHIOSTRO DI SAN PIETRO IN VINCOLI, a major basilica built in Rome in 1442, best known for being the home of Michelangelo’s statue of Moses.



THE CALL FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS

For the slideshow, Slideluck Roma is welcoming photographic bodies of work and multimedia submissions on the theme STILL MOVING.

“With most of Wenders’ films, the idea comes from a place, rather than a story. Every place has a story to tell, and every story begins with a place.

Like the tradition of Haiku […] each word/picture is intended to surprise through justaposition, connecting place and affect in unespected and fresh ways.”

Photocinema: The Creative Edges of Photography and Film, By Neil Campbell, Alfredo Cramerotti

Inspired by this quote by Robert Frank:

“I will make a film…about photographs leading (me) to moving images. Fragments of saved up memories…moving inside that frame. Pushing towards another scene. To reveal and to hide the truth. A photograph is fiction and a sit is moving, it becomes reality.”



We are expecting works that explore the boudaries between documentary and fiction, to be presented in a projection of vibrant works chosen by curators Louise Clements, Giammaria De Gasperis and Maria Teresa Salvati, and the rest of the team.



We are excited to announce the benefits for those who will submit their work:
An edited selection of the final submissions will be shown on screen in QUAD/Derby during FORMAT16 exhibitions, Off Year Program
Some of the selected slideshows will be promoted on RVM Magazine website and on its social channels

RVM MAGAZINE
RearViewMirror – published by Postcart and available in bookstores, as well as by subscription – is the Italian quarterly magazine dedicated to photography.
In the bulls’ eye of its target, RVM puts documentary photography even beyond traditional codes, with various approaches: hardly reassuring, more unexpected (and less prone to mainstream publishing specifications), provided it remains faithful to the magazine’s declared vocation of telling stories. The starting point of RVM is in fact the idea of photography as a language (with its syntax and its ability to morph into narration), as an exercise in selecting one’s own point of view (hence the choice of what to look to and how to look at it) and as a criterion of knowledge of the world we live in, an access key to its surprising places, unfamiliar lives and untraveled roads.

The Trip SRL is mouthpiece of a cultural tourism, sustainable, intelligent, and based on deep knowledge of places, things and people away. The journey here is understood as an experience in which the traveler is the protagonist and narrator. The Trip LTD deals with organization of events, communication and press offices.
