Mapping Festival 2012 – Teaser from mappingfestival on Vimeo.

Mapping Festival is simply one of the highest-quality festival venues for innovative visual work. Beyond just what “mapping” itself would describe, it’s consistently been a terrific filter for what Ilan Katin describes so eloquently in the video above as “this medium of light.”

And now, if you, dear readers, think you have what it takes, you might be part of it. The call for works begins later this month, with AV, workshop/lecture, and installation submissions the second half of August and Clubbing and mapping (small ‘m’) in October. In other words, now’s the time to get that documentation together.

And it seems, likewise, the perfect opportunity to reflect on the visual output of Mapping Festivals past. Here are just a few of my favorite documentary videos.

Enjoy. And as for your submissions, bonnes chances!
