LAZNIA 1 2010 - 4th IN OUT FESTIVAL 2010
21-22.10.2010
 
IN-OUT Festival will take place in Łaźnia CCA for the 4th time. Just like the year before - it will be open to everyone. Festival is focused on selecting the most interesting video works, that seek to find innovative formal and aesthetic solutions.
Nowadays video is a commonly used method of recording various actions, and, thanks to internet, it can be regarded as a general field of discussion (i.a. discourses on art). Ordinary, trivial and simple usage of this tool in different functional contexts happens to make language of video clear these times.

The main aim of the festival is to search for these works, that through the knowledge of different contexts of video art, try to bring new qualities to its functional and well-known form. Works promoted at festival are characterized by lack of plot. Major emphasis is put on showing aesthetic features resulting from technological aspects of the same picture. So, all that seem to be an error in the video is brought to reflection according to the rule BAD FILM = GOOD ART. Festival is planned to explore contemporary methods of describing the world: through video picture itself- and not literary layer hidden inside.

This year the main competition will be combined with followed shows:
D.A.R.E - curator: Alberto Guerreiro
and a premiere of new video work:
FILM - by Michał Brzeziński

Winners will receive two grant prizes:
1st prize: 2000 PLN
2nd prize: 1000 PLN
and two Honorary mentions: 500 PLN each





Works complete with an application card must be submitted until 5 September 2010.
