CologneOFF X
10th Cologne International Videoart Festival
“Total Art”

Founded in 2006, Cologne International Videoart Festival is celebrating in 2014 its 10th festival edition
During 10 years, CologneOFF was supporting “art & moving images” and encourage artists to use this exciting medium creatively.

“TOTAL ART”
CologneOFF X ist standing under the theme of “Total Art”, showing video as a multi-facetted artistic audio-visual medium,
which is executed solely by its creator or a group of collaborating artists, including filming, cutting, editing, composing, post-priducing etc, thus the whole creation in one single hand.
The digitalization of video made it only possible, that artists can create such a “total art” work, due to the affordability of the entire production. It is not even necessary to have the most advanced professional equipment. A creative person can use even cheap production tools for creating excellent art works.

But, “Total Art” is not only related to the creative production of a video, but also to the artistic contents, encouraging submitting artists to use all their creativity to go steps forward in exploring the artistic potential of video.

CologneOFF X is
– looking for art works using video as a medium in all its variety, but for submitting only single channel videos are eligible, a hybrid type of work which can be used for different presentation forms like screening, projection and installation.
– expecting new and experimental artistic approaches in transforming essential issues of human existence into the language of the “moving images”.
– inviting film & video creators – to submit up to 3 videos (max duration 10 minutes, exceptions possible)) in following categories –->
(experimenta forms of ) film – videoart – documentary, whereby animated and very short (60 seconds) forms are particularly encouraged

CologneOFF X – 10th Cologne International Videoart Festival
“Total Art”

Fundado en 2006, “Cologne International Videoart Festival” celebra en 2014 la décima edición de su festival. Durante 10 años, CologneOFF sustentó “art & moving images” y alentó a los artistas a utilizar este fascinante medio de manera creativa.
Para “Cologne International Videoart Festival”, CologneOFF X representa la edición final del festival, luego del cual, “Cologne International Videoart Festival” continuará bajo la forma de una exhibición de “artvideoKOELN international” en el marco de sus actividades globales de “art & moving images”.

“TOTAL ART”
CologneOFF X se desarrolla bajo el lema de “Arte Total”, mostrando el video como un medio artístico y audiovisual multifacético, ejecutado íntegramente por su creador, incluyendo la filmación, corte, edición, composición, post-producción, etc; es decir, la creación completa en manos de un solo artista.
La digitalización del video hace posible que los artistas puedan crear tal obra de “Arte Total”, ya que la producción entera se hace abordable. No es necesario poseer el equipo profesional más avanzado. Una persona creativa puede usar incluso herramientas de producción muy baratas y aún así crear excelentes obras.
Pero el “Arte Total”, no sólo se refiere a la producción creativa de video, sino a los contenidos artísticos, alentando a los artistas a enviar obras que usen toda su creatividad, avanzando en la exploración del potencial artístico del video.

CologneOFF X
– Busca obras artísticas que usen el video como medio en toda su variedad, pero se seleccionarán videos de un solo canal, una obra híbrida que pueda ser utilizada para diferentes formas de presentación tales como exhibición en pantalla, proyección e instalación.
– Espera enfoques artísticos nuevos y experimentales que transformen las cuestiones esenciales de la existencia humana en el lenguaje de las “imágenes en movimiento”. Films experimentales – video-arte – documentales, prefiriéndose en especial los formatos animados y muy cortos (60 segundos).
Sólo se seleccionarán envíos online.
