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 Osnabruck 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.
After having shown over 200 new experimental films and videos, around 50 installations and numerous performances the five day festival closes with the Award Ceremony at 20:00 h at the Lagerhalle.
Three prizes are given away this year: the E 2500.- EMAF-Award for a pioneering work in media art, the German Film Critique Award for Best German Experimental Film of the Year, and the prize of the foreign office for intercultural dialogue. Benny Nemerofsky's performance "Lyric" will round off the ceremony.
