Have you seen video arts from Mali and Costa Rica?
Visit “Over View”
8 countries & city / 8 curators / 45 artists / 8 exhibitions / 240 minutes of film
Asian Experimental Video Festival in Hong Kong warmly presents
International film project “Over View” in Hong Kong from 5th to 10th May 2015.
Over View is an international travelling film project for which 8 curators from 8 different countries were invited to select films of outstanding artists from their home countries. Each curator was asked to programme 30 minutes of contemporary short videos of any genre. These countries and city are Hong Kong, Netherlands, USA, Egypt, Mali, Costa Rica, Australia and Brazil.
What’s on
Subjects or content of these videos are related to the “what’s on” in such a way the viewer could gain an insight into the artistic level as well as the contemporary topics in the participating countries. The result is a collection of carefully chosen audiovisual “portraits”: an overview on global visions.
A world tour without travelling
The curators were also asked to select a venue in their country to screen Over View. In this way all participating curators, artists and audience will be able to see this collection of global visions without actually travelling themselves. Over View has been tour to Cairo, San Francisco, now comes to Hong Kong. It is a good chance for Hong Kong audience to see video arts from 8 countries, especially Mali and ¬Costa Rica, which we seldom have chance to see video arts from these 2 countries.
The 240 minutes videos will be shown in an exhibition setting which audience can join any time they want. The whole program will be shown 2 times a day in Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre. 11am is the first time. 3pm is the second time.
