Open Projector is a project at Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts focused on showcasing the work of local filmmakers. Organizers want to help create a community among those who make the creations and those who enjoy viewing independent works. Open Projector Night is set for Dec. 18, and the selection panel is hoping to raise awareness among local filmmakers and is also seeking submissions from those who have not previously participated. Local work is due to the selection panel by Dec. 11, with no fee charged to offer a film project to the curators. With each submission limited to a maximum of 20 minutes, the panel will chose a variety of films for the audience to view. The audience also has the opportunity to cast votes for favorites. In studio is Katie Jones, a member of the Open Projector film selection panel, to explain how the event works, and about the hopes the volunteer-led organizers have for the local film community through the creative viewings. Music in this episode of Catalyst Radio is the local band Lake Timberâs with the new release called Platypus. The song is âFaded.â
