The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA is calling for the submission of short puppet films for the Xperimental Puppetry Theater program.

Proposed films must be under eight minutes, and can be stop-motion, claymation, live manipulation, collage, silhouette, or any other style of puppet film.

We are pleased to offer funding for new works. Project seed grants up to $450 may be awarded for films made expressly for XPT. Previously made puppet films are also accepted. Accepted films will be placed in the Center’s extensive Puppetry Research Library.

The deadline for proposals is February 1st, 2011. Performance dates are May 19-22, 2011.
