Programming Update

[alwaystheocean]

With the con just three months away, we’re preparing for a weekend jam-packed with vids, panels, activities and socialising! The full schedule will be released closer to the con, but we can now share some news about what you can expect to find in it.

First of all, vidshows! Our vidshows for this year will be:

2013 Retrospective (such_heights)
Antagonism (fray_adjacent) (This year's themed submission show following on from last year's Blorbo!)
A Moment In The Sun (evewithanapple)
Embodiment (frayadjacent)
Eurovision (condnsdmlk)
Festivids (findmeinthealps)
How do you love? Like a fist, like a knife (nu_breed)
In the spotlight (findmeinthealps)
Kick Drum Beating in My Chest Again (FairestCat)
Premieres (charloween)
Vidders Choice (brokenmnemonic)

Look out soon for VJs calling for vid suggestions and possibly premieres.

We’ll also have panels including:

Anatomy of a Vid
Aspects of Aspect Ratio
Women Behind the Camera
Year in Vidding

A major update - this year we’re trying something new with the group vidding workshop! The workshop is a big part of the VidUKon experience, but our new hybrid format presents some additional challenges compared to a fully offline or fully online workshop.

So this year, we’re taking the workshop back online, moving it to a pre-con challenge with a longer timeframe, and making some other changes that we hope will retain the chaotic spirit of the workshop while making both running it and participating in it a bit simpler. Watch this space for more detail soon.

And finally, we’ve chosen a theme for this year’s vidder-submitted themed show! The theme is Antagonism. Whether it’s nemeses, enemies to lovers, villains or feuds, we want your vids all about hostility, rivalry, contention and opposition.

More details coming soon on exactly how to submit. The deadline will be May 6. Premieres are particularly encouraged but back-catalogue vids are very welcome too.

Here’s those deadlines again:

May 1 - Vidder’s Choice submissions
May 6 - Premieres submissions, Antagonism submissions, deadline for in-person registration
May 25 - deadline for online registration if you would like a physical conbook or Premieres memory stick
June 9-11 - con weekend!
