20.00 — Oslo screen festival (Norway), festival «Now&After» (Russia) and Impakt (the Netherlands)

Oslo screen festival — Norway

Oslo Screen Festival is an international festival for video art happening in Oslo every two years. This is a non-profit initiative started in 2008 by visual artist Margarida Paiva and producer Rune Sandnes. Both established and emerging artists are invited to send their work. The festival focuses on works that seek their own language through subjectivity and experimentation. The selected works will be part of the festival's archive. The aim of the festival is to establish a platform for video art in Norway for both Norwegian and international artists. Our wish is to break boundaries in the selection of video art and visualize a wider cultural diversity of expressions and forms. The purpose of the festival is to inspire the artistic and cultural environments in Norway and to stimulate the audiences’ consciousness of the world around.

International video art festival “Now&After” — Moscow (Russia)

International video art festival “Now&After” took place at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art this year (it’s the second time at this venue). The festival speciality is in its representation. Museum as a venue for videoart festival presentation gives a unique opportunity to show the works in the interaction, in the space of the one whole videoinstallation, which is shown during several weeks. In addition, the festival holds a presentation of all chosen works — they are shown in turns like one-day videoinstallations “Video now”. This year festival “Now&After’ 12” has for its subject “Super-Super City”. The modern city is something more than tightly populated accumulation of arcitectural and engineering constructions. This is both megapolis, devouring millions of inhabitants, and settlements, brought under subjection of the industrial development logic, and little towns, where time flows softly, and places of habitation, which no one needs anymore. Within three weeks you could see at the festival the city through the eyes of 32 artists from Russia, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Ukraine, India, Uruguay, Brazil, USA, Canada, Japan, Israel, Slovakia, Turkey, Great Britain and New Zealand. Their works were selected for competitive and non-competitive festival programs.
