For the first time, Arnolfini and Encounters International Film Festival present the brand-new AV Stage with a multifarious mix of visual marvels and aural delights in an innovative new location. Full details on www.encounters-festival.org.uk and www.arnolfini.org.uk
Opening at 1pm on Saturday and Sunday, the stage will stimulate the ears, eyes and taste buds with a mixture of live music, film cut-ups, performances, short-film programmes, DJ sets and ice cream.
Featured acts include:
Tim Etchells - the acclaimed artist created ‘Art Flavours’ when he collaborated with an Italian ice cream maker and an Italian art critic in an attempt to turn art concepts and themes into ice cream flavours. A video installation will screen, while the ice creams are on sale to taste
The Encounters Short Film Festival - presenting a collection of animations intended to tickle the visual senses of the whole family. Expect them to be funny, thoughtful, abstract and anything but ordinary
Onedotzero - presenting a short film selection from its 2009 festival. From personal stories to collective experiences, the programme ‘citystates 09’ investigates how cities are changing and, in turn, how we are changing our cities.
Genre Collage - A very special live performance by People Like Us, cutting numerous old movies and soundtracks together into a unique, humorous and entertaining take on cinematic genre.
Bug Planet - stunningly shot nature film meets cult sci-fi in this sumptuous hybrid movie cut up by VJ Rodell with mutated insect chirps and micro-house clicks and beats melded into a live re-score by Lovewig
Arthur Cox - presents ‘Time Traveller’s Guide to Bristol’, a new digital project that uses geographically collated archive films and photographs to explore the city’s past. You can follow up on the screening by downloading the free iPhone application. From 28th July.
