Time Based Media

Cross-TIC seeks project proposals from creators who want to realize a distinctive cross-media film experience that aims to touch a viewer in different ways, stimulate multiple senses simultaneously or even invite participation.

Twentse sagen Twente has a rich history of Sages about witches, vanished villages and mythical creatures, among other things. Many of these sagas are based on existing people, places and events, but these sagas increasingly seem to belong to the past. Cross-Tic is therefore looking for storytellers who want to keep this tradition alive in a contemporary way.

Produce a new Twente saga as a distinctive film experience;

– based on a Twente event, custom, landscape feature, place or region name or natural phenomenon.

Or

– linked to existing Twente buildings, events and people.

Here, as a creator, you have the freedom to determine the origin of your story and subject matter where it is not necessary that it has (strong) historical value or is already known to a large audience.

A distinctive film experience between 3 to 10 minutes that is more than just watching a screen.

Consider applying

– New technologies: AR, VR, XR, 360 video and/or

– Interaction and / or

– Immersive components, where the film and atmosphere blend together on location.

The production to be made will premiere on Sept. 7, at the Night of Short Film in Hengelo, and then tour Twente. Therefore, the completed production may not be location-specific.

• Add a treatment ( maximum 4 – A4 / 1400 words) In this, the following should already be sufficiently highlighted. In which at least the evolution of your story, characters and plot points are addressed.
• Describe where in the audience experience is so special.
