The Hungry Eyes Festival is once again looking for artistic works that situate themselves at the intersection of film, performance and installation art and question film in an interdisciplinary way. The next edition runs 26-28 August 2022 at KiZ Gießen.
This year, hungry eyes festival will once again take place in the urban exhibition space KiZ (Kultur im Zentrum) and poses the question of how cinematic works can relate to, as well as challenge that space. A programme consisting of a short film series, performative and installation works will explore what constitutes the medium of film and how cinematographic elements and working methods can be translated into other media. What can cinematic work mean in the context of installation art and performances if it does not only mean the playing of audiovisual clips? To what extent can a short film also address its own form and play with performative elements? By which means does film become a field of experimentation that expands its own concept and practice in an interdisciplinary approach?
The organisers would like to question and investigate to what extent film can set political or social impulses, how films or projections can intervene in real existing space, which presumptions about (cinematic) aesthetics can be turned upside down, or how repeatable two-dimensional film stands in relation to performance that emerges in the moment, as well as how both relate to installation work that intervenes in a space over an unlimited time. From a ballet of overhead projectors, an exhibition with flip-books to a silent movie screening with virtual reality glasses – everything is possible.
Travel and transportation costs can usually be covered for performance and installation artists, and accommodation can be organised. Short films receive a fee of 150€ per film, and installation art / performances of 350€ per artist + 100€ for setup/performance.
