The European Media Art Festival (EMAF) is one of the most important current media art forums world-wide: from 10 to 14 May 2006 the Osnabrueck Festival will offer a comprehensive overview spanning the whole range of this young genre of art.
Under the motto "Smart Art" the EMAF will present current works that question social conventions, take familiar things out of their context and subtly track down the absurdities of individual and social everyday life. The approaches range from popular subjects to provocative statements that go down new paths of artistic debate in film, installation and expanded media, making playful and intelligent use of various media.
Spanning five days, the Osnabrueck Media Art Festival will show over 200 new experimental films and videos and around 50 installations, also offering numerous performances, lectures and discussions.
// International Student Forum - University Day
Every year students from international institutions of higher education have the opportunity to present their works within a professional framework. The International Student Forum is organised independently by students, and has its own exhibition and film programme. This year's "StuFo" co-operation partner is the Merz-Akademie Stuttgart, Germany.
Today they also kick off the University Day, when international institutions of higher education from the fields of film and media present their current degree programmes and projects. The following will also be presented:
