| Syndicate: 4th 'crossing over' kicks off |
CO4CO4CO4CO4CO4 CO4CO4CO4CO4CO4 CO4CO4CO4CO4CO4 _______________________________________________@ LJUDMILA, ljubljana ___________________________________________________________DECEMBER 9 - 23, 1999 dear syndicalists, the 4th mini-international festival of videoshorts CROSSING OVER will migrate to LJUDMILA, ljubljana by the very close of this year despite all the millennial fireworks around. CROSSING OVER is a true offspring of the syndicate networking, originally established as an alternative educational framework for eastern european videomakers to develop and produce individual or collaborative videoshorts. CROSSING OVER was set up in 1996 and 1997 in sofia and moves westwards to different cities each year: novi sad in 1998 and ljubljana 1999. in 2000 the festival will hopefully be touring to dublin, columbus and new york. previous crossing over artists include mary avril gillan, branka davic, ivan mudov, saso vrabic, darij kreuh, kalin serapionov, zlatko hinki, zoran naskovski, vesna pavlovic, krassimir terziev, odiliya yankova, elena belova, denis neimand and others. most recently 6 of these artist's crossing over videoworks have been selected for the launch of the global multimedia interface on leicester square, london [www.thegmi.com] where a state-of-the art LED screen at the height of a 4-storey building operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week as an ambitious and dynamic way of presentation and experience of visual imaging. through a series of invitations and calls we have received an overwhelming number of proposals for the postproduction of new videoshorts playing around this year's theme of CROSSING OVER TIME. following earlier powerful manifestations of the festival topic such as crossing over the body as a landscape and crossing over roads and geographies this issue of CROSSING OVER TIME is about counteracting the millennium frenzy and the grand narrative of the digital revolution through the aesthetic of minimalism and the genre of videoshort. for the first time crossing over finalists will be exploring the potential of on-line film-making and designing moving images specifically for the net. exclusive premiere of CROSSING OVER TIME videoshorts is scheduled within the 6th biennial video positive 2000 - the other side of zero - which also explores the post-millennial mood of Y2K and after. however, for technical and temporal reasons only we are able to accommodate only 9 visiting artists [see below] and up to 3 local artists [who are in process of selection]. on-line consultancy prior to the masterworkshop is being provided for the selected artists towards finalising the winning proposals by: Antal Bodóczky Hungary Kai Kaljo Estonia Boryana Dragoeva Bulgaria Dimitrina Sevova Bulgaria Alla and Katia Russia Barbara Konopka Poland Maria Natascha Stukoff Germany/Aus/UK Zornitsa Sophia Popgantcheva Bulgaria this is also an e-public note saying 'congratulations' to the selected artists above and 'many thanks' for the proposals submitted by all the other artists whom we would like to keep in touch with for the forthcoming rounds of C05 and after. traditionally the project has been supported by the cultural link programme at open society institute, new york and facilitatetd by various local institutions such as the regional soros centers for the arts, ljudmila, ljubljana and fact, liverpool. CROSSING OVER is a project curated by iliyana nedkova and produced in collaboration with nina czegledy. cheers, -iliyana nedkova on behalf of CO4 curatorial team CO4CO4CO4CO4CO4 CO4CO4CO4CO4CO4 CO4CO4CO4CO4CO4 CO4CO4CO4CO4CO4 CO4CO4CO4CO4CO4 iliyana nedkova | vr@fact.co.uk c u r r e n t t r a n s l o c a l p r o j e c t s VP2000 | the other side of zero | http://www.fact.co.uk virtual revolutions | http://www.yourserver.co.uk/vr crossing over | http://www.ljudmila.org/co medi@terra pendulum | http://www.otenet.gr/fournos ------Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/syndicate to unsubscribe, write to <syndicate-request@aec.at> in the body of the msg: unsubscribe your@email.adress
