From the call:

ARCH Development Corporation (http://www.archdevelopment.org), in partnership
with the DC Office of Planning (http://www.planning.dc.gov) will be implementing a
community wide arts program targeting the historic sector of Anacostia in Washington,
DC. The project, LUMEN8Anacostia is intended to be a transformative arts initiative that
strives to engage vacant space and buildings through the use of light, ingenuity and
spaces innovation.  

The three month project title “LUMEN8Anacostia” was selected based on the definition
of a “lumen” which is a measure of light equal to one candle intensity, thus 8 lumens of
light. Phonetically, it also brings to mind “luminate.” It is loosely based on the all-night
arts event, “Nuit Blanche” or White Nights in cities such as Paris and Toronto. The
number 8 is representative of the Washington DC Ward where the event will take place
in (ward 8-Anacostia).  

The goal of this project is to transform the Historic Anacostia corridor in Washington DC
through the use of light and artistic innovation. 

A part of this festival, ADC will be projecting videos on the facades of various buildings in
the historic neighborhood of Anacostia. Additionally, all selected videos will be shown
periodically over a three month period at galleries in Anacostia.  

LUMEN8Anacostia invites filmmakers and video artists to submit ‘silent’ 5 minutes or
less productions to be screened as part of this project. ADC will select 5 to 8
productions.   

Submissions from local, national and international video and film artists will be
accepted.
