Lecture by Dieter Wieczorek
"The cultural potentialities of cinematographic and audiovisual production: what it is and what it could be"
Language of the lecture: English
The concept and the history of the Signes de Nuit festival will be rolled up, the actual festival in Paris end of April will be presented and the perspective of its future will be discussed, followed by reflections about the general aspects and possibilities of audiovisual languages. How to communicate in a globalized state (of mind), where traditional language communication is under going a critical state and marginal entities risk more then every before to loose contact with the technical and political transforming powers? How to act in a world behind of Gutenberg? How to behave in a world dominated by perfect image dressings? What means "information" in the Medias? How can other kinds of reception resist against the linear repetitive media imprimations? How other kinds of stories can be told, to keep a culture awake, which refused unification? Given the technical conditions some extract of the actual program of the Signes de Nuit festival will be shown and discussed. |
