From 29th of March to 2nd of April 2011
at Cultural Center creACTive (former Cultural Center CK)
in Skopje, Macedonia

In the realm of visuality, the concept of the blind spot defines the space of the non-visible. In the process of observing the city, certain views dissolve, thereby revealing elements of construction in both urban space and human perception. As a temporal platform in Skopje, Macedonia, Blind Spot Skopje presents cinematic and discursive positions of self- and outside perception regarding urban space and its blank spots. The exhibition, theoretical discourses, and a film project, that explores urban spaces in Skopje, condense into a map with known and unknown coordinates interfering with each other and being re-arranged by various artistic strategies.

A project by Marte Kiessling, Stephanie Sarah Lauke, Vanessa Nica Mueller and Wiebke Stadler.

Punto y Raya Festival explora la síntesis máxima de la dualidad forma-movimiento en diversas esferas artísticas. Gracias a la simplicidad de la consigna, propone la utilización de la materia prima de la abstracción humana para revelar los logros y las limitaciones de nuestras formas de representación.

Esta convocatoria está dirigida a obras audiovisuales construidas netamente a través de puntos y rayas. ¡Nada de representación: sólo puntos y rayas como fines en sí mismos!

El Courtisane Film Festival celebra su décimo aniversario. Del 30 de Marzo al 3 de Abril, el festival de la ciudad belga de Ghent, prepara un programa centrado en obras radicales tanto desde su discurso como cinematográficamente.

La sección 'Artist in focus' tiene tres protagonistas este año: Sylvain George, Robert Fenz y Robert Beavers. Cada uno de ellos presentará una selección de su filmografía así como otro programa con obras de otros cineastas que hayan influído en su obra. Además, habrá dos performances de cine y música con las colaboraciones de Sylvain George & William Parker (31 de Marzo, Vooruit) y Robert Fenz & Wadada Leo Smith (1 de Abril, Vooruit).

El festival se abre con la premiere de disorient de los artistas belgas Florence Aigner y Laurent Van Lancker en una versión 'expandida' en colaboración con Sébastien Koeppel y Laszlo Umbreit. Además, diversas charlas con artistas y talleres, así como una instalación de Martin Arnold con sus piezas Shadow Cuts y Soft Palate.

El festival de cine y música en directo Play, alcanza su quinta edición en La Casa Encendida. Durante sus dos día de duración, 4 y 5 de Marzo, su comisario Andy Davies programa una serie de sesiones donde el celuloide y la música tienen su protagonismo a partir de su creación en vivo: la animación a partir de transparencias manipuladas Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry de Daniel Barrow; los superocho llenos de múltiples exposiciones y editados en cámara de Paul Clipson musicados por Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (Tarentel, The Alps); y Cipher Screen, la obra a partir de dos proyectores de 16mm en las que Greg Pope perfora la película y Lee Patterson genera la música a partir de los propios proyectores. La sesión del viernes se abre con un programa de cortos de animación con piezas de Jane Geiser, el "reanimador" Lewis Klahr y Martha Colburn.
