MOVES10: FRAMING MOTION | 21-25 APRIL 2010 | LIVERPOOL

Right in the middle of a world-wide tour that's taking the best of moves09 as far as Glasgow, Australia, Hungary, Spain, Brazil or Russia moves returns to the North West. Showcasing the most recent and fascinating works that examine movement on screen moves  will takeover the renowned cultural centre The Bluecoat (Liverpool) from 21 to 25 April 2010. 

Established in the North West of England, moves is the largest exhibition platform in the UK for experimental short film and new media with a unique focus on movement on screen, exploring new ways of telling stories through films, installations and screen-based works.

moves10 is preparing for its 6th edition in April 2010 with a new and exciting programme going more international than ever and presenting work indoors and outdoors, featuring international screenings, talks, interactive installations, workshops and live events.

moves'  open call for entries (films, installations, papers) has now closed (December 13th, 2009).

Please bear with us whilst the selection panel will be carefully reviewing your entries. We will notify you regarding the result by February 1st.

 
 
THE THEME - FRAMING MOTION
Under the theme Framing Motion, moves will explore how practitioners choose to frame movement through their choice of setting and context to define the boundaries for screen-based works. These can be real worlds or imaginary, abstract, impossible or augmented environments defined by a specific visual intent.

In looking at methods of capturing a sense of pulse and energy, we also investigate definitions of stillness: the dialogue of pause-and-release through which motion occurs: capturing - if only for a moment - the essence of life ablaze.
