The 21st edition Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival (FLEFF) investigates the theme of disruptions and invites submissions for its online exhibition, Networked Disruptions. Prizes of US$500, US$300, and US$200 will be awarded for outstanding projects.<\/p>\n
disruption (n.): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a rending asunder, a bursting apart, forcible separation into parts,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d early 15c., originally medical, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153laceration of tissue,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d general sense from 1640s, from Medieval Latin disruptionem (nominative disruptio) \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a breaking asunder,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d noun of action from past-participle stem of Latin disrumpere \u00e2\u20ac\u0153break apart, split, shatter, break to pieces,” from dis- \u00e2\u20ac\u0153apart\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (see dis-) + rumpere \u00e2\u20ac\u0153to break,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d from PIE root *runp- \u00e2\u20ac\u0153to break\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (see corrupt (adj.)).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Disruptions stop the flow of events, ideas, processes, and structures. They produce stoppages, breaks, and fissures where old flows are halted and new ones can emerge. In some cases, disruptions are productive, as in technological and political revolutions. In other cases, disruptions are destabilizing and counterproductive, as in severe weather patterns and market volatilities. <\/p>\n
Global climate disruptions consist in unwanted and unnatural environmental changes. They give rise to rising air and water temperatures, to rising water and toxicity levels, to rising fears and anxieties. Disrupting consumerist habits, such as use of cheap fossil fuels to power single-person or single-family (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153private\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) automobiles and produce single-use (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153disposable\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) plastics, is an urgent response that can be distributed across the world.<\/p>\n
Networked disruptions consist in outages, censorship, violations of privacy, and thefts of identities. Hackers have often worked to unlock content and interrupt the algorithms that narrow the aggregated information in our search engine results or our social media feeds.<\/p>\n
This exhibition seeks projects that explore disruptions in relation to our natural and virtual environments. Ones that contribute to broadening dialogues and debates.<\/p>\n
Submissions must be accessible for online exhibition without passwords but can include documentation of other iterations\/components like live performances or gallery installations.<\/p>\n
