The Star and Shadow Cinema is very proud to be taking part to the AV Festival…
THE AV FESTIVAL (5 - 14 March)
The AV Festival is the biennial international Festival of electronic arts, taking place from 5-14 March 2010.
This year the curatorial theme is energy: a universal force that connects, transforms and renews life. Exploring energy from scientific, technological, environmental and spiritual perspectives we present work that resonates across the Festival centres in NewcastleGateshead, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, and beyond.
It's a packed and diverse programme with 24 exhibitions, 20 performances, 10 screenings, 14 talks, 3 symposia, 4 club nights, 2 residencies and even our very own café. We are thrilled to include legendary and inspiring artists, filmmakers and musicians such as: Kenneth Anger, Bruce Conner, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Liliane Lijn, Alan Moore, Charlemagne Palestine and Iain Sinclair, who have all innovated in their respective fields.
For a whole programme of the AV festival, you can have a look at their website here
