In July 2016, the performances were shown as part of Kilowatt Festival in Sansepolcro, Tuscany.<\/p>\n<p>The final phase of the project invites documentary makers, students of film, theatre lovers, audience members and whoever wishes to take part, amateur or professional, to submit films\u00a0to take part in the\u00a0Playing Identities\u00a0mash-up\u00a0competition.\u00a0The mash-up\u00a0competition is a chance for the project\u2019s archive\u00a0to find a new life, new people and new visions through documentation: instead of montaging our material from inside the project, this is an open call to people\u00a0from outside to re-imagine and\u00a0rework our video\u00a0and audio material into new works that document the project while also leading it into new directions.<\/p>\n<p>The films will serve both as documentary materials chronicling the\u00a0<em>Playing\u00a0Identities, Performing Heritage<\/em>\u00a0project and as documentary\/art films in their own right. No previous knowledge of the project is required, and authors are\u00a0encouraged to approach the task in the key of a creative response: while using the original themes and documentation from the project, participants are also free to incorporate other video material and other ideas.\u00a0Authors can submit\u00a0films of up to 30\u00a0minutes in three categories, for prizes up to 1.500 Euros. Films will be judged by an international jury composed of scholars and professionals in theatre\/performance and film.<\/p>\n<p>The competition\u00a0deadline for submissions is\u00a0December 20th 2016.
