The 2nd International Motion Festival (IMF) is announced and is organized by the Department of Arts of the European University Cyprus in Nicosia, Cyprus, and will take place in March 22, 23 & 24, 2013. It is the first of its kind both in Cyprus and the broader Mediterranean and Middle East region. It aims to bring together film-makers, video artists, computer animators, graphic designers and their audience and to familiarize the public with what has traditionally remained as the “invisible art”: motion graphics.

Even though motion graphics has been around for decades as a discipline, it is only recently that it has taken leaps forward and been acknowledged as another art form. The IMF aims to open a forum for the presentation of the most contemporary and most creative work in the field of motion graphics and thus to be established as a pioneering event for the future, that will promote innovative and cutting-edge work.

The open call for motion work is based on the following categories:

Motion Graphics / Broadcast Design
(Commercial work, TV advertisements, film titles, motion art, etc)
Experimental
Video Art
2D / 3D Animation
Short Documentary
Short Film
3D Mapping Projection Video Preview
