Call for Proposals
Hinterculture and Craftswoman House are pleased to invite proposals for a project marking the centennial of the Llano Del Rio colony on Saturday, May 3, 2014. We seek proposals from all disciplines and encourage collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches. The Llano site offers unique possibilities for site-specificity within the physical landscape and proposals should consider the opportunities and constraints of working within a desert environment.
Individuals are encouraged to visit the Llano site (located at approximately 165th Street East along Highway 138 otherwise known as Pearblossom Highway) and preview a podcast that features historical information, sound art, and interviews about the Llano community https://soundcloud.com/temporaryresidence/the-next-step-a-journey-to (full podcast playlist here.)
Please submit a one-page proposal that details your project, participants and any logistical requirements, current CV and link to a website or examples of previous work, to proposals@hinterculture.com
Deadline: January 31, 2014

Written and directed by CalArts faculty member Mady Schutzman, Dear Comrade is an experimental essay film that documents the story of Llano del Rio (1914-18), the most important non-religious communitarian experiment in western American history. Llano is offered as a site to explore the struggles, courage, frustrations, fantasies, and Sisyphean efforts of innumerable idealists who have assumed comparable struggles in spite of tremendous odds. The story is told through archival footage, surreal re-enactments, interviews with ex-colonists, local residents and historians, and the meanderings of a silent nomad through the ruins of the Llano colony in the Mojave Desert. Through the intersection of stories, a seemingly traditional documentary morphs into a montage of parallel universes, political commentary, clownery, and a palpable desire—failings and disappointments notwithstanding—to give idealism and cooperation another try. Karyl Newman and Cindy Rehm will present their research on the colony and join the filmmaker in a question and answer segment following the screening.
