The Music:
Tres Gueros are three brooklynites led by the amorphous producer, Sleazy McQueen. Pulling together a joint of different but like-minded artists, Sleazy wanted to create a different soud than the usual house tracks. Instead You Go was the result. The vinyl release includes remixes from top nu disco names Anthony Mansfield and Neighbour, as well as newcomer Dave Allison. The digital package will include a bonus track from Sleazy McQueen, Leon Louder and a Dave Allison instrumental. The release will be out beginning of April on Wax and available at digital stores shortly thereafter.

The Contest:
With the success of combination of talent that went into the track, it only makes sense to open up the visual representation of the music to newcomers and fresh insights.

Disposable Film Fest ’09 Promo from Disposable Film Festival on Vimeo.

WHAT IS THE DISPOSABLE FILM FESTIVAL?

The Disposable Film Festival was created in 2007 to celebrate the artistic potential of disposable video: short films made on non-professional devices such as one-time use video cameras, cell phones, point and shoot cameras, webcams, computer screen capture software, and other readily available video capture devices. With people everywhere gaining access to these devices, it was felt that the time was right to draw attention to the creative potential of this new mode of filmmaking. Far beyond its initial roles for video blogging and documentation, the DFF offers a forum to display how disposable media can be used for creative purposes. The DFF hosts screenings, competitions, and other events to showcase the best work within the disposable genre.

…and they want your Disposable Films. So, shoot ‘em, cut ‘em, and send ‘em in.

WHAT IS DISPOSABLE FILM?

In recent years a new kind of film has emerged: The Disposable Film. It has been made possible by new media (webcams, point and shoot digital cameras, cell phones, screen capture software, and one time use digital video cameras) and the rise of online distribution (YouTube, Google, MySpace, etc.). These films are often made quickly, casually, and sometimes even unintentionally.

Everyone has become a Disposable Filmmaker: directors of Saturday night cell phone videos, actors under the eyes of security cameras, and narrators before their webcams. Let’s face it – we live in an age of disposable film. Now it’s time to do something creative with it.

Submissions for DFF 2010 now open!
Deadline Extended : October 1st, 2009
