Open Student Call: Noorderlicht Futurama

In addition to the regular open call, Noorderlicht has launched an international Open Student Call as well for the upcoming festival 'Generation Z', in order to to give the generation central to the festival a voice. The original idea was to have students worldwide make a self-portrait of their generation. In view of the drastic current developments, the call has been adjusted. All students who use lens-based media are asked to express their vision of the future in a single image, in the light of the crisis in which the world finds itself. These images will jointly get a place in the festival.

In recent weeks we have seen a large dose of creative images pass, by people who give substance to their temporary quarantine, who are looking for activities to combat boredom or for ways to speak out. This special time brings to light an unprecedented inventiveness. Humour breaks through the tension, connects and gives us the mental space to put things into perspective.
 
Futurama
However, visualizing what this crisis means for us, what it does to us mentally and how it affects our vision of the future is of a completely different order. By letting lens-based students from all over the world reflect on this, we hope to gain insight into the future expectations of a generation. The submitted images will be presented as a futurama in the festival.
