Video art call on extraction opens for festival

Arctic Pavilion has opened a call for experimental video art on the theme of extraction, for The Top of the World festival in Longyearbyen on 29 to 31 January 2027. The organisation said so on Facebook on Wednesday 28 October. Submissions close on 14 December 2026.

Artists worldwide may submit work in several moving-image forms, including animation and performance made for the camera. Works may run to 12 minutes at most, and there is no application fee.

The festival, held with the PROYECTOR video art festival in Madrid, will project images onto snow during the polar night.
