Performance Opportunity at the Gimli Film Festival | Deadline: May 9

Posted on

Submission Deadline:  4:00 PM CST Monday, May 9
 
The Gimli Film Festival, in partnership with Manitoba Music, is presenting Music at the Movies, a performance opportunity for five emerging Manitoba bands or solo artists to showcase their talent prior to each evening’s Beach Movie. This event is free and open to the public. Last year over 500 people gathered each evening to watch a movie on the 35- foot screen set on the shore of Lake Winnipeg.
 
Performances must be ‘family-friendly’ in language and content. We welcome submissions from emerging Manitoba bands or solo artists with full-band accompaniment who are prepared to perform a one-hour set for a large outdoor audience.

Artists will be compensated for their performance.

:
    • Have new music (demo, EP, full-length)
    • Be available to perform on one of the evenings between Wednesday, July 20 and Sunday, July 24

Preference will be given to artists who:
    • Appeal to a wide audience
