Cinco experimentos videográficos originales de la era analógica de los años 90, se entrelazan con un pasaje de video que interpreta varios contextos mediáticos contemporáneos específicos. Estos experimentos, caracterizados por sus imágenes analógicas de baja resolución y su intencionalidad profunda, encuentran continuidad y contraste en las evasiones digitales de alta resolución y en fantasías huecas/ vacías contemporáneas. A pesar de estar separados por tres décadas de deriva humana, estos distintos ámbitos convergen y se reflejan mutuamente, creando yuxtaposiciones y contradicciones profundas.

Fundación Zero
Joan Leandre, 5', 1993

Antiguos y polvorientos fotogramas analógicos anunciando el laberinto digital.

Un viaje fantástico a través de tiempos efímeros, confesiones no buscadas y cautivadoras ilusiones ópticas. Adicciones-trampa, máquinas del tiempo. Sentencias de imágenes en movimiento entrelazadas con citas de una era lejana nos transportan a un mundo de falso encantamiento. En medio de este viaje, nos encontramos con ciclos, tendencias y vibraciones aleatorias de placas tectónicas elásticas lineales en movimiento. Entonces, nuestra existencia queda atada a la superficie y solo bajo condiciones específicas podemos vislumbrar lo que se oculta más allá de este territorio limitado. Abraza las maravillas que se despliegan en este fascinante viaje a través del desconocido mainstream.

The MVI&Fi presents an extensive theme-based programme that is not exclusively dedicated to new audio-visual productions. The Mostra is non-competitive and all the participants are paid for their contributions. These are the specific criteria that distinguish the Mostra from other festivals.

As in previous editions the audio-visual works presented in the MVI&FI are selected in two ways. On the one hand, a rigorous selection of works received through a public call for entries and the other, works selected from a variety of archives and programmers or through direct contact with the authors.

The theme of identity , once again, is of central importance in the Mostra; identity, in this cases, at the cross-roads of the social, sexual, emotional and familial with the interior world of madness, pain and the intimate, ...A spectrum amply illustrated in the four programmes of the Dark Night of the Soul .

In this edition, for the first time, the Mostra presents two monographic sections: An extensive selection of the work of the Canadian Steven Reinke and more limited programme dedicated to Joe Gibbons.

We are also presenting an extended version of the William Burroughs monographic programme that was projected at the MACBA, consisting of works that go beyond the strictly videographic, and representing both a way of understanding visual experimentation and a radical critique of contemporary culture and society. There are works in with Burroughs actively collaborated, such as the films of Antony Balch and Gus Van Sant and others in which his writings or voice served as a point of reference, such as the shorts of Francis Ford Coppola, Herbert Distel, Philip Hunt, ...

We are especially pleased to be showing The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord , with Keith Sanborn ’s English translation.

The 4MVI&FI also includes two programmes of Experimental Television compiled by Andy Davies and during the Mostra Barcelona Television will broadcast a especial programme of ambient tv by Park 4 dtv.

This year the Mostra has two sections dedicated to Interactive Pieces and Quicktime Movies . The first is both wide-ranging and informative and the second, more specific, consists of multimedia works from ZKM – Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie in Karlshure- Deutschland and 10 representative CD roms of the archaeology of mass media from the Rick Prellinger Archives in New York.

Each the programmes that make up the MVI&FI work as a route intended to transport the viewer through a series of emotional and mental landscapes as if in a ritual or journey, in which each of the stages influence and alter the others. The programmes consist of works that are formally diverse, that flow in a way that excludes neither contradiction nor paradox, that may be read over and above the significance of each specific piece.

What if ... Collen's life in his own voice has been miserable. Her father abused her, she was betrayed and deceived by her husband, separated from her children.

To Ikhlas, a young mother, the most important things in life are her two children, all that is left from an arranged marriage in her teens. Her youngest son Nasser was imprisoned by the Israelis when he was only 15 for defending the cause of the Palestine people. Ikhlas is willing to accept any sacrifice in order to remain in contact with him, but she cannot help wondering whether this is really what her people need to do in order to defend themselves.

An Italian documentary that looks at how television manipulates and exploits women's bodies. It all started with the observation that women – real women – are an endangered species on television, one that is being replaced by a grotesque, vulgar and humiliating representation. This is an enormous loss: the erasure of womens' identity is happening right before our eyes, but there is no outcry, even from women themselves. This led to the idea of compiling TV images that share a common manipulative exploitation of womens' bodies, to let people know what is happening – not only people who never watch television, but especially those who watch it but “don't see.” The aim is to pose questions about the reason behind this erasure, a real “pogrom” of which all of us are silent spectators. The project pays special attention to the erasure of adult faces on television, to the use of plastic surgery to erase any sign of the passage of time, and to the social consequences of this erasure.

The protagonist of this film is a building. On the perimeter of Rome like a monolith in the open countryside stands a municipal housing complex from the seventies: Corviale. This ravaged concrete structure, which stretches for over a kilometre, has become the embodiment of a failed utopia from an urban planner's drawing board. Designed as a self-sufficient city, for decades this “palazzo” has largely been left to the devices of its eight thousand residents.
