VIDEOKILLS presents… its first International Video Art Festival 2009!
The festival will showcase works from international artists in the form of video installations, video art, experimental, narrative and documentary short films. In addition, we will host a Skype symposium series where scholars and video artists from around the world will lecture and participate in panel discussions on a wide range of topics from art to technology. There are also a series of workshops scheduled to coincide with symposium topics, focusing on techniques and innovation. The philosophy of VIDEOKILLS and the International Video Arts Festival is accessibility, open exchange of art and ideas, and a dedication to the preservation, invention and evolution of the medium of video art. The Festival will take place from the 26th-30th August 2009. The location is STATTBAD, an indoor swimming complex, erected in 1907 but which has been idle for the past eight years. The STATTBAD is currently being transformed into a multi-use space for concerts, festivals, and myriad of other events. For further information see the website.
