State of the Image Festival 2006 04-09.09 Arnhem (NL)

From 4 up to and including 9 September 2006 the festival ‘State of the Image’ takes place in the centre of Arnhem. For the experts in the audiovisual business and the media line there are readings, workshops and master classes. But also for the general public there’s much to see and to do. Interactive movies which the viewer itself can exert influence on the course of the movie. The public can actually see and make knowledge of with the production of a lot of art films, video clips and games. The last night will be spectacular with a VJ performance of nobody less than Peter Greenaway.

Peter Greenaway is a well-known movie director from among others the cult movie The cook, the thief, his wife and her lover. Another international guest is Chris Hales, a pioneer in the field of interactive film. Three nights the public can enjoy watching the screens and, with live actors, the public can exert influence in the course of the story.

Arnhem has a wide history in the field of experimental and renewal video productions and the organisation shows it with the programme component Square Eyes. How are digital films get manipulated? And what does it mean for the people watching it?

A diversity of digital films and movies, produced in The Netherlands and in foreign countries, is shown. But also Audio Visual artists from this particular area can show themselves. For the youngsters among us, there will be workshops to get familiar with interactive media.

A varied program for young and old, for people making and people watching it.
