AIR NEW ZEALAND INFLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT

NEW WORK FOR SCREEN
AIR NEW ZEALAND INFLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT
Call for Expressions of Interest

Due: 5 pm, November 16, 2011

CoLab is seeking Expressions of Interest from artists, animators, dancers, and/or filmmakers to create a new work for screen that directly interrogates the inflight experience. The New Work for Screen commissions are an opportunity to feature in Air New Zealand’s Inflight Entertainment program. While frequently referred to as a non-place to be endured, the experience of international flight and the micro and macro politics it intersects with are complex and multi-faceted. We are seeking works that innovatively explore how a Work for Screen can intervene in the inflight experience to illuminate it, and change the passenger’s perception of it. Two works will be commissioned to screen on Air New Zealand’s Inflight Entertainment System for up to three months. The successful projects will receive a $3,000 (excluding GST) artist fee and a production budget of up to $3,000. The initiative is made possible through the support of Creative New Zealand. Expression of Interest’s for selection must be received by 5 pm, November 16, 2011. For more information contact melissa.laing@aut.ac.nz
