Punto y Raya Junior

Dear friends of Punto y Raya,

It is a pleasure to inform you
that we're launching the version of our festival, made FOR and BY
children aged 6 to 12 years.
Following the same
spirit that has earned us the title of "Most abstract festival in the
World", this edition will host the same kind of activities as the "adult"
one (calls for entries, workshops, screenings, installations, exhibitions
and live PyRformances) under the motto "No representation, only dots and
lines".

The CALLS FOR ENTRIES are currently
open, and the selected works will compete for the Jury and Audience
Awards.

SHORT FILM Call for
entries: abstract short films experimenting with dots and lines in
various contexts. All techniques are welcome; maximum running time is 6
minutes and the soundtrack cannot feature articulated words. View the eligibility
criteria

PHOTOGRAPHY Call for
entries: abstract photography experimenting with dots and lines in
various contexts. All formats and techniques are welcome. View the eligibility
criteria

Submissions are free and can
be made online. Deadline: August 15th, 2012

The first
edition of Punto y Raya Junior
will take place on November 10th & 11th 2012 at the
CCCB (Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona) with
free admission.
And from March through October, we'll be organizing
for children at various associated venues. We'll post all the details
soon.

For those who still don't know Punto y
Raya, this multidisciplinary festival studies the essence of
the artistic expression; it uses the minimum grains of all representation
systems (the dot and the line) as ends in themselves, inviting creators
and audiences to explore the artistic experience in its purest state:
form, color, motion, tension and sound. Punto y
Raya subscribes to the spirit of "Art for Art's sake"; that
unique experience that only abstraction can encompass in all its
dimensions.

For more information regarding our three "adult"
editions, please visit our website.

Eagerly
awaiting the children's works,

Warm regards,

MAD :)
