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 other
events.
