The Canadian juror Michèle Cournoyer is going to introduce various cult and other, less-known experimental films in the Světozor Cinema today at 16.00.
You can join us in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Swedish animation today. We are going to watch an overview of Swedish animated films and the oldest pieces will be screened from their 16mm film prints. Screening begins in the Světozor Cinema at 20.00.
The second curator’s selection of Street Animation will be screened in the Puppet Theatre at 18.30. This time you will see animations of light, forgotten toys and even a giant popcorn in the streets and other real outside locations.
Every day of the festival we are screening three projects by Artyčok TV in the Old Town Hall: Chrámy peněz (Temples of Money), Rozhovory o zvuku (Interviews on Sound) and Výběr (Selection). The films are screened in a loop during the whole day. And what is it about? Artyčok TV is an internet platform for contemporary art, which records and helps realize art events and projects as well as various art-related cultural events. The project was launched at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague in 2005, which means it celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Although at first it focused predominantly on local context, it soon expanded its scope far beyond the borders of Europe. Come and see for yourselves!
