L’OEil d’Oodaaq is a French non-profit organisation that researches on video art, moving images and other forms of images in contemporary art.
L’OEil d’Oodaaq will be organising in 2023 its 12th Oodaaq Festival.
It will be held in May in Rennes.
It will be composed of: exhibitions, screenings, performances, lectures, moments of encounter.
The festival questions the place of images in today’s society and the way artists reflect on this issue. L’OEil d’Oodaaq is interested in all states of existence of images: construction, circulation, reception, as well as its recent mutations in the digital age. The organisation refers to the term of « nomadic and poetic images » in order to emphasise the moving, multiple and reflective nature of the images it is interested in.
For the 2023 edition, the festival will be mainly devoted to video art with a particular interest in works that question contemporary struggles (ecofeminism, feminism(s), social and ecological justice...). The videos, at the very heart of its programme, will be presented in screenings of programmes with several works, in exhibitions, autonomous installations, windows, and lounges.
Every year, in order to enrich its research and reflections, the Festival also gives carte blanche to local and international partners.
The selected videos can be showed in screenings, exhibitions, installations, etc.
This open call relates of course to our festival, but also to all the events that we organize or in
which we participate throughout the year. Indeed, apart from its annual festival, L’Oeil d’Oodaaq
implements and / or takes part in more than twenty events each year. By applying for this open
call, you are submitting your work for Oodaaq Festival and / or for events offered by the association
throughout the year, in Brittany, nationally and internationally. Each broadcast is done in
agreement with the artists, is framed by a contract and is the subject of a remuneration (calculated
for 1 broadcast or on a lump sum basis).

L’OEil d’Oodaaq is paying author’s rights or exhibition fees to the selected artists. The exact amount will be fixed regarding the terms and frequency of presentation of the works.
