Opening Symposium Interactive Film Lab, Lectures on local truth
The Interactive Film Lab starts with an opening symposium where three
speakers will share their thoughts on interactive film in relation to
the theme ‘local truth’. Although this seminar serves as the departure
of Mediamatic's 5-day workshop on interactive film, anyone who appeals
to this topic is welcome to attend.
The following speakers will contibute:
Morten Schjødt (Denmark), director of the interactive film Switching.
He will use this interactive feature film as a starting point to
elaborate on ideas for an open filmform. He will present his thoughts
on the loop as narrative structure, and film as an interface.
Duncan Speakman (UK), sound and video artist, and initiator of the
first European videoblogging conference. Duncan will zoom in on the
specific points of junction between video and new media, and comment on
videoblogging as a tool for exploring local truths.
Florian Thalhofer (Germany), artist, original builder of the Korsakow
engine, and producer of the interactive documentary The Korsakow
Syndrome. Florian’s work is highly inspired by local stories. He will
talk about the possibilities of online interactive storytelling and
ways to represent local truths within this context.
The opening seminar will be held in the Impakt building at Oudenoord
275. Participants and non-participants are expected to be present at
09.45 hrs. The symposium lasts untill 12:45 hrs. After lunch the actual
workshop takes off. The workshop sessions are restricted to
participants only, with the exception of the afternoon presentations
which take place every next workshop day from 16.00 till 17.00 hrs. On
the last day (Sunday, December 11th) some of the participants will
present the film prototypes that they have built during the workshop.
The admission for the opening symposium and public sessions is free.
