#filmisnotdead is a celebration of the timeless beauty and artistry of analog photography. This juried exhibition will showcase the unique and evocative qualities that can only be captured through traditional film. We invite photographers from all around the world to submit their best analog images for a chance to be part of this exhibition.
This call for entry is open to photographers of all levels, both amateur and professional, who work with analog photography techniques, including but not limited to film, wet plate, cyanotype, and other traditional processes. Images which are captured on film and then the negatives are scanned to digital are acceptable for this exhibition, as well as digital/inkjet prints.
This is an open call with no theme for the subject matter of the images.
Thirty (30) images will be selected to be installed as unframed prints in our Maloof Gallery.
The Maloof Gallery, named after long-time APG patron’s Ted and Gloria Maloof, supports multiple group and solo exhibitions each year.
Our esteemed juror will select one image as the “Juror’s Choice” and that individual will receive a complementary entry for the next Main Gallery call for entry. The total print (paper) size for selected awarded artwork will be limited to 22” on the longest side, or less, but no framing or matting will be required. These prints will be installed using magnets. We can also recommend a local printing service, if that is needed.

Michael Kirchoff works in the worlds of both commercial and fine art photography. A commercial photographer for over thirty years, it is his fine art work that has set him apart from others, with instant film and toy camera images fueling several bodies of work. His consulting, training, and overall support of his fellow photographic artist continues with assistance in constructing ones vision, reviewing portfolios, and finding exhibition opportunities, which fill the gaps in time away from making photographs
Michael is also an independent curator and juror, and advocate for the photographic arts. He is a juror for Photolucida’s Critical Mass, and has reviewed portfolios for several fine art photographic organizations and non-profits in the U.S. and abroad. Michael has been a contributing writer for Lenscratch, Light Leaked, and Don’t Take Pictures magazine. In addition, he spent ten years (2006-2016) on the Board of the American Photographic Artists in Los Angeles (APA/LA), producing artist lectures, as well as business and inspirational events for the community, and was nominated as Photo Editor of the Year for 2023 at The Lucie Foundation.
