Brink Issue no. 13 Video Essay & Cinepoetry

Ends on

Guidelines:

In 2025, Brink launched a new Video Essay & Cinepoetry section along with a call for submissions that combine poetry and prose with moving images. 

We are excited to feature video work that artfully combines written and visual media in ways that surprise us, inviting new resonances and pushing the boundaries of media and genre. We are most interested in short video works, but will consider longer projects of exceptional quality. You can view examples of the kind of work we're excited about in Issues 9-11. 

We understand that this kind of work lives both ephemerally and in place-based publication formats. We invite submissions of short films and videos that have been live screened at festivals and performances, or have future screenings scheduled. At this time, we are not seeking video work that has been previously published online, or recordings/documentation of live readings or spoken word performances. 

Please upload your video file, or simply include a link to Vimeo or YouTube in your cover letter. Please be sure to mention the password if your file requires it. 

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
