ALTERNATIVE FILM VIDEO 2019

Alternative film/video festival održaće se od 11. do 15. decembra u Domu kulture "Studentski grad" na Novom Beogradu. Tema ovogodišnjeg festivala je Veliko ubrzanje, a prati je bogat petodnevni program. Najavljeno je preko 30 gostiju iz inostranstva, a biće prikazano preko 70 alternativnih filmova i video-radova iz celog sveta – inovativnih, eksperimentalnih, istraživačkih, avangardnih, ličnih, političkih...

U takmičarskom programu su novi radovi Davorina Marca, dua Neozoon, Alana Brauna, Rodžera Horna, Saliz Hjuz, Aleksandrije Ajduković, Renate Poljak, i mnogih drugih, a u regionalnom, netakmičarskom programu Jug-jugoistok filmovi Igora Simića, Julije Lazarkove, Zorana Saveskog, Damira Čučića, Nike Novaka i Matevža Jermana…

Program čine i dve multimedijalne izložbe, radionica video-gliča i snimanja na 16mm filmu, i brojni prateći programi. Alternative Film/Video Istraživački forum i dva okrugla stola tradicionalna su mesta na kojima filmski autori, teoretičari, istoričari, arhivisti i kustosi razgovaraju i debatuju, a ove godine baviće se temom Velikog ubrzanja u tzv. antropocenu – umetničke obrade, u domenu alternativnog filma, uticaja čoveka na prirodu u doba kapitalizma i ogromnih socio-bioloških promena koje izaziva.

Umetnički duo Doplgenger (Boško Prostran i Isidora Ilić) odgovoran je za tematsku koncepciju i odabir filmova za međunarodni takmičarski program, a Greg de Kjur selektor je regionalnog programa Jug-jugoistok. Članovi žirija su peruansko-francuska umetnica Rouz Lauder, Katrin Munt, kustoskinja iz Nemačke, i Aleksandra Sekulić, kustoskinja iz Srbije. Rouz Lauder će predstaviti izbor svojih kratkih filmova sa 16mm traka, Katrin Munt selekciju radova inspirisanih temom festivala, dok će Aleksandra Sekulić predstaviti svoj izbor iz video opusa beogradskog kolektiva Kosmoplovci.

Stiv Kosman, umetnik iz Njujorka, predstaviće filmove nastale u produkciji kolektiva Mono No Aware, koji se bavi analognim filmom, a održaće i radionicu snimanja i razvijanja 16mm filma. Igor Toholj i Ivan Velisavljević priredili su retrospektivu video-radova poznatog beogradskog umetnika Nikole Šindika, uz prateće DVD-izdanje. Lukas Brasiskis, litvanski kustos baziran u Njujorku, priredio je izbor iz istočnoevropskog video-arta, a Barbara Borčić i Peter Cerovšek iz Slovenačkog centra za savremenu umetnost predstaviće izbor slovenačkog videa.

Festival se otvara dvema izložbama. U Velikoj galeriji biće priređena izložba Sve su to nadgledale mašine drage milosti sa radovima Fokus grupe (Iva Kovač i Elvis Krstulović) iz Rijeke i Filipa Ruja iz Pariza, koju su kurirali Isidora Ilić i Boško Prostran, a u Maloj galeriji izložba Ivana Petrovića Making Off koja uključuje dokumentarni film, odštampane frejmove preuzete iz montiranog i nemontiranog materijala i postavku fotografija.

Temi virtualne antropologije posvećen je Alternative Istraživački forum, koji ovde godine vode Greg de Kjur i Megan Barker (Univerzitet u Čikagu), a na forumu će izlagati nekoliko naučnih istraživača iz SAD, Velike Britanije, Srbije... Članovi žirija, kustosi pratećih programa i gosti festivala učesnici su okruglog stola na temu Veliko ubrzanje, koji je otvoren za javnost, a moderiraće ga umetnički duo Doplgenger. U okviru festivala biće održana i radionica video-gliča, koju vode zagrebački umetnici Dina Karadžić i Vedran Gligo. Manja Ristić & Mirian Kolev održaće koncert elektroakustične muzike, a Antun i Filip sviraće live soundtrack za filmove nastale u Akademskom kino klubu DKSG.

Žiri festivala odabraće filmove za Listu značajnih ostvarenja, čiji će autori imati priliku da dobiju rezidencijalni boravak u Akademskom filmskom centru Doma kulture "Studentski grad" naredne godine.

The festival Alternative Film Video will be held from 11-15 December 2019 at Student City Cultural Center in New Belgrade. The theme of this year’s festival is The Great Acceleration, which will be explored over a rich five-day program. More than 30 international guests will be present at the festival, and more than 70 alternative (innovative, experimental, exploratory, avant-garde, personal, political) film and video works from around the world will be shown. The international competition program features new films and videos by Davorin Marc, Neozoon, Alan Brown, Roger Horn, Salise Hughes, Aleksandra Ajduković, Renata Poljak, and many others. The noncompetition regional survey program South by Southeast presents recent work by Igor Simić, Julia Lazarkova, Zoran Saveski, Damir Čučić, Niko Novak & Matevž Jerman, and more.

The festival program includes two multimedia exhibitions, a video-glitch workshop, 16mm film projections, and a number of special programs. The Alternative Research Forum and two public roundtable discussions are traditional places where film artists, theoreticians, historians, archivists, and curators discuss and debate the major topics in alternative moving image culture. This year’s main discussion focuses on the theme The Great Acceleration, or the so-called Anthropocene, and the artistic treatment, particularly in the field of alternative film, of the influence of humans on the environment in the age of capitalism and the enormous socio-biological changes that have appeared as a result.

The artist duo Doplgenger (Boško Prostran and Isidora Ilić) have created the festival’s thematic concept and selected films and videos for the international competition, while Greg de Cuir Jr is the selector for the regional survey program South by Southeast. Jury members include the Peru-born, France-based artist Rose Lowder, the German curator Katrin Mundt, and the Serbian curator Aleksandra Sekulić. Lowder will present a selection of her short 16mm film works, Mundt will present a program of works inspired by the theme of the festival, and Sekulić will present the video works of the Belgrade collective Kosmoplovci.

Additional programs will be curated by Steve Cossman, the New York-based artist, who will present films made by the production collective Mono No Aware, which is a space for engaging with analogue film that also organizes workshops on the techniques of film shooting and film developing. Igor Toholj and Ivan Velisavljević will organize a retrospective of video works by the well-known Belgrade artist Nikola Šindik, based on a new DVD edition. Lukas Brasiskis, a Lithuanian curator based in New York, will present a program on East European eco-critical video art. Barbara Borčić and Peter Cerovšek from the Slovenian SCCA – Center for Contemporary Art will present a selection of video art from Slovenia.

The festival opens with two exhibitions at Student City Cultural Center. In the main gallery the exhibition All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, curated by Doplgenger (Isidora Ilić and Boško Prostran), will feature the works of Focus Group (Iva Kovač and Elvis Krstulović) from Rijeka (Croatia) and the artist Phillip Rouy from Paris. The small gallery will feature an exhibition on the Belgrade photographer Ivan Petrović titled Making Off, which includes documentary films, printed frames taken from edited and unedited footage, and photographic works.

The Alternative Research Forum is focused on the theme Virtual Anthropology and will be organised by professor of anthropology Meghanne Barker (University of Chicago) and independent curator and writer Greg de Cuir Jr. Participants from the United States, the United Kingdom, Serbia, and elsewhere will deliver presentations on the intersections of new media and visual anthropology. The festival’s main roundtable discussion on The Great Acceleration, which is open to the public, will be moderated by the artist duo Doplgenger. The video-glitch workshop will be led by the Zagreb artists Dina Karadžić and Vedran Gligo. Two live music performances are also part of the program – electro-acoustic concert by Manja Ristić (Serbia) & Mirian Kolev (Bulgaria), and a live soundtrack to films produced by AFC by Antun&Filip.

The jury will nominate films and videos for the festival’s List of Significant Achivements, and artists on this list receive the opportunity for an artist residency at AFC Belgrade, part of Student City Cultural Center
