vj festivals

[silk]

will there be some cool vj festivals this summer ???

like the one in barcelona ...

[unjulation]

well.......

I don't know what the festi at Barcelona is/was like but I have been talking to a few people, both at vjcentral and hear in Leeds about the idea about seting up a vjcentral gig in England.

Runing along simirler lines as the vjnet gig, workshops and party.

At the moment I'm working on orginising a small vj workshop, for the local comunity, involving basic captureing, editing, and vj'ing skills, which I think could spring bord into a vjcentral gig in september, in conjunction with the Leeds internationel film festi, I've worked with them before, in there fringe section.

At the moment it's just an idea that could become a reality if people are interested in it so any coments, thoughts and surgestions welcome.

unj :)

I'll be at the weekley chat this wednesday 24th, if anyone has any ideas.

[Anyone]

I would be more than happy to welcome
the VJ Central Crew to a september gig at Vectors...

Vectors is based at AKA, central London,
every third wednesday of the month.
So in September, that falls on the 18th.

September will be our first aniversary
and I think getting some of VJcentral down to Vectors
would be most welcome.

Anyone interested?
(Addictive TV have just confirmed June with Vectors, BTW)

yeah ok but I was more looking for a festival for 3 day's or so

[unjulation]

as this would be vjcentral's first bash it might be wise to keep it relitivley small, funding will play a large part in the size of the gig it's self.

anyone do you rekon that you can get any funding over your way?

one of the reasons for thinking about Leeds was possibel funding from the film festi, the vj thing ties in very well with there new media section, especialy if it involves "hands on" experiance/comunication rarther then just a party, per say.

basicly the place is not to important but we will need someone/group at ground level organising the nuts and bolts of the gig it's self, sorting out most things like funding, venue( about 500-1000 capacity, thou if we got massive funding who knows what we could do :p ) equipment, etc, etc.

Silk, where are you located at?
there are a number of large festiavls
going through out europe this summer
including the boom festival in portugal
(www.boomfestival2002.com)
and a lot of UK vj's were talking about
doing a tent at the glastonbury fest.
(not sure what has become of it)
there is also the sophia, bulgaria fest.
and there is a big one going off in estonia...

Oh did I mention the Psychic Chakra???
hehe, morph you know that I had to throw it in...

[Anyone]

I've got also good connections with people at ICA
(Institute of Contemporary Arts, London)
they've got a reputation of showing a lot of club events
and festivals like OneDotZero, Full Length, Laptops Live...

It would seem quite feasable for me
to approach them with a VJForums proposal.
I've also done a few workshops there so
I'm quite familiar with the infrastructure...

tell me what you think,
VJ Ne1:)

[Anyone]

Pixy,

have you got the URLs
for the Sofia and Estonia Festival websites??

im sure we can arrange someting at the next event, maybe a venue or a space/lounge for the vj central peeps to hang out in, there has been a lot of discussions about u at VJS.net, some of us rate what ur doing for the vj community.

im having thaughts, about dovetailing a couple of things. just remind me of this thread and vjcentral lounge, after 26 of may for vj2

[unjulation]

micheal
nice one mate, very good to hear of your surpport for this developing site. :)
I'll be bringing some stuf to show you guys when i come down and will have a chat.
defianatly up for geting involved next year!

anyone:- ware were you on wedensday chat? but I'm sory some execitive dissision's were made about the vj central gig ideas if it happens this year, I'll post a thred up in the next few days.

[silk]

well I am from the Netherlands and I've seen the thread about telenoika and would go there with per-i if this festival would go this year ...

I loved the pics of the old cathedral and would be glad to join it this year to ( I hope it's not a one time fest ) ...

[eXhale]

great to hear michael :) looking forward of future collaborations.

silk, since you're dutch, robotfunk is organizing with others a VJ event in holland this summer, i think. not a festival though. the website is http://live.rel.nl

[silk]

thx exhale :)

[Anyone]

Unj,

I had a gig on wednesday...sorry I couldnt do the chat.
but please tell me about
anything interesting that happened at this discussion.

Is there any news about doing VJforums stuff at AKA?

having said that,
I hope you dont view ourselves as competitors
Leeds and London are far away enough from each other
to start thinking of north / south collaborations...

If something happens in your area then mine,
then other parts of england,
maybe nows the time to think of this venture
as a little tour thing?

VJ NE1

[unjulation]

ahh, sorry you mised the chat anyone, but it sounds like you were haveing a good 'un anyway.

no mate of corse i dont think Leeds and London are in compertition, it was just that to organise a gig like this takes a lot of planing and organization, so some of the dissisions have to be set in to motion prety quickley, ie funding and the like.

I told X i'd send him my noats on the gig and I'll send them on to you too in the next few days, let me know what you think.

:)

[eXhale]

the basic idea was that, since unju started to organize most of the gig (and i'm thankful he did!), it made sense to do it in leeds, where a local is definitely needed. a vjcentral tour would be awesome but maybe not a good idea for the first time.

anyway, let's talk about this when unju posts his notes :)

[Anyone]

OK cool,
keep me "posted";)

[silk]

telenoika will be in november this year too .. cool :cool:

[MoRpH]

For australian VJs/video ppl Electrofringe will be on again this year from october 2-7... not sure about the video program yet... but I hope to be involved in soome way and will definately be attending... you can actually put in proposals for workshops and stuff for part of the festival on the site... chek it :) http://www.octapod.org.au/scripts/ef2k1/bgimg.pl

I go in the French documentary Festival of Lussas, tonight until sunday....:nod:
see you soon, friends...:)

Cordialement, Denimage.

[Anyone]

Denimage,

dont skip the hurdles, mate...

if you're talking about performing at Vectors,
we are booking about 3 months ahead...

so even if we booked you now,
that would be for november...

But send us a demo first :)

in the meantime, you're more than welcome
to have a booty shake at Vectors if you coming
down to London...

cheers, NE1
