Performance, Film, or Art Event
- This submission form is intended for performances, films, and art events not part
of other session formats.
- In addition to this submission form, you must submit a sample of the proposed
performance (up to 2,500 words of text, ten images of artistic work, demo CD,
YouTube or other Internet link, DVD, or other appropriate format). Send via email
at SDS2012@disstudies.org or postal mail to the SDS Executive Office at 107
Commerce Centre Drive, Suite 204, Huntersville NC 28078 USA. Samples must
reach the SDS Executive Office by the submission deadline.
- All film entries accepted for presentation at the 2012 Conference must be
provided to the SDS Executive Office on DVD not less than 30 days prior to the
start of the Conference in open-captioned format, and the presenter should be
prepared to provide audio description as needed. As SDS cannot pay distribution
rights for film screenings, the provider of the film is fully responsible for securing
any necessary permissions from trade and copyright holders for public showing
by the early bird registration deadline of April 1, 2012. Sponsors of accepted films
must register for and attend the conference, host the screening, and bring
documentation of rights clearance to the Conference and have it available during
the time of film showing. SDS may request the right to schedule more than one
screening at the conference. SDS program committee may request more
samples and cannot return materials that are submitted for consideration.
- All contact persons for scripted spoken word performances, such as a reading or
a play, accepted for SDS must supply a full text of their script by May 10, 2012
for the use of Sign Language or Captioning. In addition, they must have a plan to
supply audio description.
