videoART: Poland/Germany – video art

The video art presentation as a part of the 20th edition of the European Film Festival for Documentaries dokumentART is an attempt to make the viewer more familiar with the European experimental cinema.

 

In modern video art the documentary turns out to be more and more often the topic as well as the means of opening the space for artistic creation. Many artists go beyond the traditional “objective” documentary by proposing a “documentary subjectivism,” a kind of hybrid supported by the experiences of new technologies. On the artistic level it expresses the attitude of confronting reality and its subjective reception more fully. Many of the films presented this year follow this formula. It is a tendency which gets more and more strongly accented in contemporary experimental cinema.
The diversity of the films presented makes us more familiar with the complexity of contemporary experimental cinema, which is a simple reflection of the dynamically changing reality but, above all, shows the condition of contemporary man on many levels.
