Cross-TIC invites cross-media makers to submit a project proposal to develop an interactive installation specifically for the target group young people. The installation will be shown during Pop-Up Film Festival in cinemas and libraries in Twente. The deadline for submission is 4 March 2024 before noon.

About Maakplaatsen
Maakplaatsen are collaborative workspaces inside libraries in all 14 municipalities of Twente, offering programs that mostly focus on the maker culture and technology. Maakplaatsen productions invite audiences from all ages and backgrounds to learn about and participate in new technological and innovative developments. With these open calls, makers are invited to propose a production that will be offered in the context of the Maakplaatsen in collaboration with Tetem and at least one other partner of Cross-TIC. In this trajectory the maker will also collaborate with two Maakplaatsen.

Open Call Production: Pop-Up Film Festival (PUF)
For this open call, makers are invited to apply for a production trajectory in which they will develop an interactive installation. The installation should be an immersive experience for children and will be shown during the PUF at the Maakplaatsen and cinema’s in Twente. Makers are invited to propose a new project that is aligned with the PUF.

Who can apply?
Cross-TIC aims to support cross-media makers who have a connection to Twente (meaning that makers either live, work, study or have graduated in this region). Visual artists, designers, new media developers and other creatives are invited to apply for a production trajectory in which they will develop new cross-media works with a strong Technology, Innovation and Creativity component. In developing their project, they are offered guidance, expertise and support that will help them refine and realize their work. The Cross-TIC production will be presented to a regional audience through the PUF and the Maakplaatsen libraries.
