Video Art Festival 'Love video' in Moscow

The Unison community presents the fifth annual video art festival 'Love video'. The Love video project was born five years ago as an attempt to unite works based on Love and a love for using video imagery in one program. The Love Video project remarkably captures the spirit of the time and is a promising and cosmopolitan art project capable of inspiring participants and audiences from many cultures. Through the unique prism of Love Video, we have the opportunity to exchange video-fluids and demonstrate the multifaceted existence of each other's worlds. Thanks to the creative duo of two curators, the event has become an annual Russian-French festival. Curators Camilla Lazard (Unison community) and Laurent Quenehen (Jeune Creation) have selected films created by video artists on specific themes, with love being the leitmotif, or literary works that can be interpreted. In 2001-2002-2003, there were creative video art experiments on the theme of love confession. In 2004, the project was called 'Song of Love' based on the work of Jean Genet. In 2005, 'Travel Agnec' based on Nastya Gosteva's book published by 'Amphora' publishing house. In September 2006, the festival grew to international scales, presenting collections of video art films on alternative themes from curators of seven countries: Russia, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, and Asia. International competitions allow for multiple perspectives and trends characteristic of each curator from each country. They are held for artists and filmmakers from different countries showcasing the cooperation in the field of video art. These screenings offer new, alternative perspectives and approaches to cinema. The goal is to present the audience with the latest achievements in cultural genres such as video art and short films. The Love video project thrives in Paris, Moscow, and New York.
