Syndicate: festival of film and new media on art |
Ioannis Skourogiannis writes: Dear Andreas Broeckmann, Firstly thank you for inviting me to join the V2_East/Syndicate mailing list and second for hosting the festival in V2' s site. I have to say that I am very interested in what you are doing. The 1st International Festival of Film and New Media on Art is going to take place the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th of december 1998 in Athens and is going to present in competition 31 films and 18 cd-roms on all domains of art from around the world: architecture, design, painting, sculpture, theatre, cinema, photography, perfomance art, multimedi art, interactive art, video art, music, literature, poetry, art history, as well as, museology and restoration. We are interested in a multidisciplinary approach towards art. We also want to suggest a wedding of the different media of multimedia, film and digital cinema. The festival is going to be held in the Fine Arts School of Athens and it will include installations, lectures and round tables. I have to say that our intention is not to present academic films and cd-roms on asrt. On the contrary, we are moslty inetersted in creative documentaries and cd-roms that use the possibilities of the new medium at its most. Here is a list of some of the cd-roms: TOMATO 2 by Antirom LE CRI NEERLANDAIS by the Netherlands Design Institute LE LOUVRE by Montparnasse Multimedia THE COMPLETE MAUS and FREAK SHOW by Voyager HOUSE by Joost Grootens TCHNOPHOBIA by Dooley Le Lappellaine SCRUTINY IN THE GREAT ROUND by Jim Gasperini IMPROVISATION TECHNOLOGIES and ARTINTACT 2,3,4 by ZKM MUCHROOM JAZZ &SOUL MOTION by OM Records REGISTROS DE ARQUITECTURA by Vilente Guallards COTTONMOUTH TEXAS by Circumstance Design Unfortunately good cd-roms are rare to find in Greece. The designers are just starting to get the grips of the techlology. However, more and more producers are getting interested on the new medium. Unfortunately, I sense the same goes with the countries of the East. We have not managed to find good cd-roms from these countries. If you do have any suggestions to make please, you are very welcome. As a matter of fact we are very interested to see what the METAFORUM MEDIA ART FESTIVAL in Budapest has to present. Unfortunately I cannot get into their site. Do you have their full address? I hope this gave an idea about what the festival is all about. The site of the festival is due within few days from today. Thank you again and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Yiannis Skourogiannis 57 Archimidous Gr-11636 Athens tel:01-7520065 fax:01-9242407
