FINAL DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS - CLOSED

Now in it's third year, onedotzero_cascade is a platform for creative collaboration and innovation across diverse disciplines to foster personal and professional development. It was designed to challenge existing educational models, processes and formats, while advancing new ways of working, by utilising new technologies and taking an open approach.

onedotzero_cascade takes shape in the form of a collaborative workshop over one week, 18-25 October 2010, working to a set brief in multi-disciplined teams. Supported by various creative and cultural practitioners offering inspiration sessions, it results in team presentations and debates at the BFI Southbank as part of the onedotzero_adventures in motion festival 10-14 november 2010.

So what’s the challenge?
This year’s onedotzero_adventures in motion theme takes a utopian approach. In the past mankind’s visions of the future were largely optimistic, full of bright new ideas and technology benefiting social harmony. Now however, a decade into the 21st century, we find there is a propensity for doom and gloom. onedotzero wants you use the theme of utopia to bring a sense of adventure, hope and positivity about our future world to this years cascade project and the festival.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for this years best and brightest graduates from all disciplines. We don't mind whether you’re a filmmaker or illustrator, sculptor or product designer, we are simply looking for committed people who are bursting with ideas and enthusiasm. This will be a fantastic opportunity to network with your peers, make some collaborative connections and create some fantastic work.

This year the onedotzero_adventures in motion festival theme takes a utopian approach. In the past, mankind’s visions of the future were largely optimistic.

onedotzero is about experimentation with moving image in any context, so working in multi- disciplinary groups you will produce ideas and concepts for experimental work. Film, animation, motion graphics, interactive design, product design, architecture, installation, sound scores and live events are all relevant to create a proposal that embodies your collective utopian vision.
Throughout the project you will be supported by a week long workshop, activities and feedback led by a team of professional practitioners all of whom have their own interesting ideas to share about what the future might hold.
