INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL "CROSSROADS OF ART"
INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL DEBUT FILMS, VIDEO ART AND MUSIC VIDEOS "CROSSROADS OF ART"
1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
One of the remarkable features of contemporary art is the convergence of different kinds and genres. Feature film mimics as a documentary. Documentary filmmakers are willing to resort to animation. Arthouse film merges in the video art. Music video borrows techniques of video art, games and even documentaries. Multimedia projects make use of all available audiovisual equipment. At the intersection of different types and genres there are the most interesting works, developing the language of cinema and fine arts.
International festival of debut films, video art and music videos "Crossroads of Art" aims to support this important and fruitful trend in the works of new authors working in different types of screen arts. The festival is attended by students of Russian and foreign film schools, creative workshops, institutes and universities engaged in training specialists in the field of screen arts, as well as independent authors making their debut. We prefer experimental work, noted by art searches and originality.
