Call for Entries: Chashama Film Festival, New York, NY
Chashama Film Fest 2008
Chashama burst onto the art world in 1996 by dazzling pedestrians with its enticing, provocative window performances. Now, in the year of the Snake, Chashama steps into the arena of film with the first annual Chashama Film Festival. Artists will be able to showcase their creativity in New York City, without even having to be in NYC. The Chashama Film Festival aims to reach artists that make work around the globe, and bring those deserving films to NYC audiences.
