CALL FOR ENTRIES F e s t i v a l & C o n f e r e n c e >MEDIA FORUM >>festival program >>>conference program >>>>about participation MEDIA FORUM (June 22-27, 2001) Organizers: <Interfest>, Information and Research Center for Media Art and Culture <MediaArtLab> The sites of Media Forum: Cinema theater "Illusion", All-Russian State Library of Foreign Literature, Central Manage This is the second year when Media Forum is organized in the frame of the Moscow International Film Festival, and, as the result of the acceptance of the role of new media in audiovisual art and culture, it was immediately introduced in the official program of MIFF and offers special accreditation to the guests, participants and journalists who are over 300. This forum is the first event of such a scale in Russia, and it reveals a new sight at the world of new media culture and new screen technologies to the professionals, viewers and critics. The task of Media Forum is to show the connection between traditional and modern branches of screen culture, the impact of technological innovations on visual arts. This year Media Forum includes the following parts: i. Festival program - "MultiVideo": International festival of video art. Videos based on synthesis of different genres and technics are in priority - <CyberMovie>: Festival of Internet art projects associated with new forms of screen shows on the web. - <Telepresence by Extension>: Special program where the most popular for the moment mass media TV meets the advanced new media art. Different forms of their mutual appropriation will be welcome. ii. Presentational programs - <Montage of Attractions>: Representation of interactive screen art which reflects inter-relations between avant-garde cinema concepts and trends in development of new media art - Retrospective showings of world video art masterpieces from international collections - Presentation of Anthology of Russian video art, project by MediaArtLab iii. The International Conference "Access to Excess" in the frame of the Media Forum of the XXIII Moscow International Film Festival, June 24-26, 2001 The core problem of the conference: how to organize effectively the process of cultural and historical valorization (term by B.Groys, i.e. estimating quality of product and making reasonable its value) of media art content under the present conditions of information over-production. Among participants of the conference organized in collaboration with the All-Russian State Library of Foreign Literature are supposed to be representatives of media art centers and archives, festivals, project runners and researchers from Eastern and Western Europe, America, Asia and Russia. The conference will highlight several basic problems of media art collections and events development: - Effective models of distribution and promotion of media art: Curators of media art collections, organizers of media art festivals, presentational and educational programmes, initiators of online resources on media art on the Internet from different countries will present their projects, share experience, and discuss different problems related to searching for adequate and effective ways of presentation of new forms of digital arts and the use of new technologies in the process of distribution and promotion. - Methods and policy in the field of preservation of media art works The actuality of the problem of preservation of media art works has grown during the last years. It's derived from the fact that media art works, especially produced in analogue formats, start to lose their quality quite soon since the time of their production. The basic aspects of the problem are: appropriated formats of the storage of media art works, preservation and restoration of media art works, transference to other, different from an original one, formats, conservation of network and Internet based art projects. - Intellectual property and copyright in the era of digital economy How artists, curators, and other professionals, from one side, and audience, from the other, can benefit in "the era of digital reproduction" from the use of advanced, first of all, Internet technologies? - Online databases: architecture, content development, platforms for integration Experience and perspectives of development of online archives and museums of media art, as well as other related information resources. Database as a network project. ?III Moscow International Film Festival 2001 Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF) is held since 1959 and year by year it has been becoming one of most respectable and prestigious film-forums in the world.
