Theme for the 2018 festival:
\nHOME IS…
\nKeywords: Habitat, safety, homesick, refuge, the right to a home,
\nmigration, homeless, retreat, the making of a home, precarity,
\ntechnology-induced precarity, material or psychological welfare or lack
\nof it.<\/p>\n
Home provides shelter, security and the shield from where we can look at
\nthe world. Homes are an integral part of complex social structures,
\nadapting and taking form after cultural and geographical environments.
\nEveryday millions from around the world are forced to flee their homes,
\nsome search for a new safe haven holding on to the figth of building new
\nlives elsewhere, others accept their new situation becoming a paradox of
\nthe world’s metropolis.<\/p>\n
What does home mean on the net? A virtual environment in which we are
\nneither here nor there, and always on the other side of the screen. What
\nis a virtual home?
\nHow does technology empower or impoverish a sense of safety and
\nbelonging? Or coupled with a globalization without borders, and another
\none with walls? Or privacy-intrusing surveillance and tracking?
\nCompatible with a home?
\nThe awkwardness of a one second movie about home emphasizes a strained
\nrelation between technology and precarity. How pervasive technology
\nallows for a self-precarization, a return to a nomadic or possibly
\ndislocated way of life, a hunter-gatherer of jobs, money, material or
\ngeneral welfare. Are we satisfied carrying our homes with us? A recent
\nstudy showed that teenagers would prefer breaking an arm to breaking
\ntheir smart phone.
\nThe one second format is almost like an empty message, like the snapchat
\n‘streak’ – a meaningless, random image just serving to keep the daily
\ncommunication going. And not unlike the computer-command ping, meant to
\ncheck whether the network and destination is alive. It reminds of the
\nobsolete ‘HERE IS’-key on old computers or teleprinters, it identified
\nyou on a network once you pressed the key.
\nThe home key on an english keyboard today, mostly brings you to the
\nstart of a document, the top of a page, in a sense, to the start of your
\nown history as a human browser – home as your starting point. But where
\nare you when you hit the end key – have you come home like you would in
\nreal life – home as also an end point? Where are we at the end of
\nhistory? With our knowledge and consciousness of an ultimate end to
\nourselves and the world, does it make home an even more cherished
\nnotion, in spite of its impossibility? A tiny flash in the dark? But
\nwhen you _are_ that flash, it makes a difference, to be what you are, a
\nperspective from home, a ‘here is’-message, no beginning, no end.<\/p>\n
About the festival:
\nOne-Off Moving Image Festival is collaborating with 60Seconds Festival
\nfor call, theme, movies and screenings, and both festivals run in
\nparallel February 19-25 (Monday-Sunday) 2018. We’ll be sharing the works
\nso the screenings will be a mix of 1 minute and 1 second movies. One-Off
\nwill focus on virtual screenings using routers and wireless technology,
\nwhile 60Secs will make physical screenings using projectors. We both use
\npublic, urban settings as the exhibition space.<\/p>\n
One-Off is an offspring of the Leap Second Festival, an x-ennale lasting
\none second (three former editions 2012, 2015, 2016\/2017). Since the leap
\nseconds are inserted into clock-time irregularly we wanted in addition
\nto have a yearly festival of one second movies, also to be able to run
\nin parallel with 60Secs festival. 60Secs on their side has more than ten
\nyears of experience in organizing screenings of short movies in public
\n(streets, walls, metro).<\/p>\n
In autumn 2017 Leap Second Festival and 60Secs collaborated on 6
\nscreenings in Europe consisting of movies from both, with the practise
\nof mixing short and ultra-short movies. More info. This in turn lead up
\nto the establishment of the One-Off festival. We’re running it without
\nfunds for the moment, in line with a ‘streak’\/’here is’-format and the
\ntheme of home, technology, precarity<\/p>\n
