The following is a call for submissions to the fifth annual
Women of Color Film and Video Festival at the
University of California, Santa Cruz to be held
May 16-18, 1996. Please help us in distributing this call to other 
appropriate lists and individuals. Thanks.

The annual UCSC Women of Color Film and Video Festival features
film/video screenings and conversations with independent filmmakers,
videographers, and visual media activists.  Over the past four years,
this festival has drawn diverse audiences and has been a crucial venue
for discussions about the production and circulation of images of women
of color.  This year the theme of the festival will organize itself
around visual representations of "rupture"--rupture of identities and
subjectivities as well as the (dis)ruption of dominant paradigms of race,
class, gender, sexuality.  Works sought include, but are not limited to,
those dealing with threats to Affirmative Action, indigeneity,
immigration, resistance, hybridity, queer-ness, despair, desire,
transgressions, and erotics. We are interested in pre-veiwing films and 
videos of all genres and lengths for possible inclusion in the festival. 
We are particularly interested in recent works, or those which have not 
been widely shown, and those made by emerging women of color film and video 
artists.

SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES

1.  Only 1/2" VHS tapes will be accepted for preview.  Although
reasonable care will be taken to protect submission tapes from loss or
