Experimental film and video art platform Prototype has announced a new three-month season featuring nine new short works – including eight world premieres – by 10 international and Australian artists, filmmakers and collectives.
First launched by writer and critic Lauren Carroll Harris in partnership with Arcadia Films back in 2019, Prototype’s goal is to shake up how experimental screen art is commissioned and distributed, taking it outside of traditional spaces like galleries and film festivals.
For the third season, Prototype 2021, a new film will be released every Wednesday from April 28 to June 23, published online and via e-newsletter.
Curated by Carroll Harris, the latest program explores themes of the anthropocene, counter histories and diasporic storytelling in a diversity of languages.
“I’ve always believed that audiences should be able to have well-curated encounters with excellent art whether galleries, cinemas, festivals and museums are open or closed,” she said.
