AND 2013 will be an exciting foray into current artistic and cinematic practice. Blurring the boundaries between art, science and cultural activism, the projects showcased will render a series of politically charged views on issues as diverse as modern defence tactics to special effects.

This year sees a departure from the format of previous years, with a week of focused artistic labs titled The Ateliers followed by a three day exposition of performances, debates, live events and showcases reflecting new trends in technology and artistic production.

AND festival was founded in 2009 through a unique partnership between FACT, Cornerhouse and Folly. AND has been funded by Legacy Trust UK, Arts Council England and is supported by the National Lottery through the BFI.
