Hybrid Metropolis: in between spaces

The 2010 topic is centered around social and urban spaces. Space does not have to be taken literally here, as theorists have established alternate concepts, bringing cultural backgrounds, different life concepts and hybrid identities into focus.

In big cities, social issues, contrast and processes show very clearly, that’s why EMERGEANDSEE 2010 focuses on the Hybrid Metropolis.

Film screenings / exhibition

EMERGEANDSEE has been a pure short film festival for the past 9 years. But we have always felt that there is great audiovisual work that we want to show but that only works off the cinema screen. Loops, still images, interactive installations, audio experiments – our exhibition will extend the possibilities to approach the topic.

The call for entries is for both sections, submission deadline is April 15 2010.

Conference

As we had wanted theoretical reflection to play a part of our festival, we have already established an accompanying conference two year ago. Discussing the future of the moving image (2008) and adopted/adapted images (2009), brilliant people have presented their thoughts and ideas to an interested audience.

If you are researcher, theorist or practitioner wishing to contribute a presentation on our 2010 topic, please have a look at the call for papers.
