The following message is from Alain Mongeau, currently in charge of the New Media section of the Montreal International Festival of New Cinema and New Media (FCMM) To resume: We are seeking shows which integrates dynamically music and visua= ls. Any ideas? If you have seen such an event, please communicate with me privately. Eric Mattson: xxxxxxx@xxx.xxx or to him: xxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx > > > >>>I'm in charge of the New Media section of the Montreal International >>>Festival of New Cinema and New Media (FCMM). You will find some info on >>>the event below. The next edition will take place from October 15 to 25, >>>1998. It is the second year that the festival will present a New Media >>>section. The concept of New Media is developped in relation to video and >>>cinema, so in fact we make bridges with old media! >>> >>>We show a bit of the usual: cd-roms, web works, installations, >>>performances. What is different I would say is that with its 27 years of >>>existence, our festival has history: it was always dedicated to new talen= t, >>>new ideas. >>> >>>Our festival does not work with themes. But as a guiding principle for >>>this year, I would like to present work that explores the threshold betwe= en >>>the sound and the visual continuum. So although the FCMM is a moving ima= ge >>>festival, I would like to show work that explores sound as I think that t= he >>>current work in that field prefigures what we could expect to see happen = in >>>the next few years in the realm of audiovisual production. >>> >>>Perhaps you might have ideas to suggest also. Last year we showed work b= y >>>Thomas Koner and Jurgen Reble, as well as Audiorom and Antirom. This yea= r >>>we are thinking of Thomas and Jurgen again, as well as a Porter Ricks >>>event. >>>looking forward to hear from you and to collaborate also. >>> >>>One element of the program that we also need to develop is the concept of >>>"Nightcap performances". Throughout the 10 days of the event, we would >>>like to present late evening musical performances that would offer a poin= t >>>of convergence for festival-goers after a busy day of screening films, >>>videos and new media work. These performances would be music-oriented, >>>but we would in fact prefer to present acts that also experiment with >>>images. Ideas that come immediatly to mind are initiatives like Locust, >>>FSOL, etc... >>> > >>>MONTREAL INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF NEW CINEMA AND NEW MEDIA (FCMM) >>> >>>"The festival for the second century of cinema - the breadth of its >>>programming makes this assertion ring true." >>>- Jerry White AFTERIMAGE, New York >>> >>>27th EDITION: OCTOBER 15 to 25, 1998 >>>http://www.fcmm.com >>> >>> >>>PRESENTATION >>> >>>The oldest (and youngest!) international event in Canada dedicated to >>>independent cinema, video and new media.
