Call for Entries

CALL FOR ENTRIES
The Black Dog Cafe, 308 Prince St. in Saint Paul, is a cafe and wine bar dedicated to the promotion of artists and of community. Located in the heart of the Lowertown artists quarter, we continually strive to find new ways to get people together, share ideas, and enjoy life. Currently, we are looking for local film makers and video artists that would be interested in showing their work.
This is a weekly event, each Sunday starting at 7:00, which premiered Sunday March 2nd. Since variety is the spice of life, we will accept for approval: narratives, documentaries, and experimental works; as well they may be feature length pieces or shorts. However, works over 90 minutes will probably be less accepted. Likewise, works under 20 minutes will be subject to being shown only in pairings, and thus harder to show unless others of that length are submitted. As well this is a family environment, though a fairly liberal one, so we will be less approving of showing anything of a questionable nature.
The Deadline as of now is April 5th for works to be considered in time to show for the next Sunday, but works will still be accepted after that for the weeks following. If you are interested, please respond as soon as possible. Thanks and I hope to hear from you.

Thank you much for your interest and I hope to hear from you soon!
