A FESTIVAL FOR EXPERIMENTS IN MOVING PICTURES
FIRST EDITION | 8 - 12 MAY 2024

a+f+v presents experiments in moving images on and beyond the cinema screen. The media and spatial boundaries of the screen or cinema hall are constantly being explored anew, going beyond conventional screenings in hybrid screening formats, installation screenings, interventions in public spaces and other work-specific presentation formats.

SUNDAY | 12 MAY

19:00 | HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT

They are literally everywhere, some even found states others are typical hemerophiles or cultural followers yet often they live hidden from human perception. Vera Sebert creates images and sounds addressing the silent disappearance of biodiversity and shere biomass in the kingdom of insects. Maud Faivre and Marceau Boré take a close look at what current experiments on insects allow us to speculate about thier partly highly complex abilities and finally Federica Foglia juxtoposes vintage erotica with entomological footage resulting in nightmarish beauty.

By juxtoposing historical and more recent photographs and video footage Bea Mariano developes a personal view on the Philippines’ involontary colonial heritage. Tommaso Santambrogio mixes fact and speculation to shed a light on humanitarian crimes commited in the Philippines in the 1980ies and yet already often forgotten internationally.
