Red Door Magazine is an international arts & culture publication released quarterly, founded in NY in 2009 and currently based in Copenhagen, Denmark, where it is also a gallery.

This is an open call for the nomadic film festival WORLDTHREADING, organized by RED DOOR. (www.reddoor.dk) and its project THE POETIC PHONOTHEQUE (www.poeticphonotheque.com) - This year, we partner with Periferia CPH, a cultural/culinary project that highlights diversity through food&culture happenings, and Indre By Kulturhuset, which will serve as a venue for the live screening event.

This year, we are specifically looking for films that highlight humanity's connection with nature, through narratives from Latin America, Indigenous Communities, or features of projects and people making a positive difference on our planet.

We will be holding a live screening on THURSDAY, June 11th, and will also have the films available for two weeks on the Poetic Phonotheque platform. All films will also be featured on Red Door Magazine. We place special focus on POETRY FILMS - or films with a poetic language, poetic focus, or poetic collaboration - these will remain in the permanent collection of the Poetic Phonotheque and tour to schools and cultural institutions internationally.

Please note that all the films submitted for the POETRY FILM category will be also included in the Youtube channel of Red Door Magazine: The Poetic Phonotheque, where we've started to share our collection to a global audience. This will be done with all selected films UNLESS you tell us via email that you do not want your video included in that series.

An environmental focus, or other forms of activism as thematic are also encouraged to apply.

Screening of the films in Copenhagen will happen on June 11th at Indre Bys Kulturhuset

-All poetry films submitted will be accepted to the POETIC PHONOTHEQUE, an international, multimedia poetry archive which exists online and on location in the Nordic countries, and which often travels to schools and cultural events.

-No films over 20 minutes (exception of documentaries, no longer than 60 min)
-Red Door serves as a safe space which encourages openness and diversity.
