This Image Wants to Move
Ewelina Węgiel, Weronika Zalewska
The conference This Image Wants to Move. Women Artists Ask about the Future of Video Art and Experimental Film will take place on 30 November 2024 at the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art. The conversations initiated during its four panels will help understand the current condition of experimental film and video art, propose possible models of support from public institutions and of environmental self-organization, as well as explore the potential of this medium as a space of often non-linear narratives combining documentary and speculation.
The conference organizers are filmmakers, so they will direct the discussion to issues that are close to them personally and environmentally. They invited the widest possible group of experts in the field of video art and experimental film: artists, curators, film critics, and educators. The fourth panel will give the floor to artists selected through an open call – there will be a place for discussion on the creative process and an opportunity to share fragments of works.
