May 05, 2007 - The Darklight Festival Symposium will be held on the 21st - the 23rd of June 2007, Dublin, Ireland.
The DARKLIGHT SYMPOSIUM 2007 will be an action packed three day event, a combination of debates, workshops, screenings and master classes.
We will be asking what the developments of the past 10 years actually means for cultural producers from all art forms and genres? How is this impacting and influencing creative practice, decision making, budgets, education, exhibition choices and possibilities?
What is expected of ‘content producers’ in 2007? Does this catchall term of the past 10 years reflect an attitude towards creative process and are we now seeing the emergence of a more curated network?
Are we entering a time where genres are evolving with a new fluidity between art, design, film, TV practices and platforms, where technology developed for gaming is impacting film, animation and motion graphics and is opening up new possibilities for the imagination, where commissioners are looking to grass roots producers and the tyranny of TV scheduling may be a thing of the past.
In addition to these questions we will be reflecting on past movements in cinema and their influence on contemporary arts practice through a retrospective programme of lectures, screenings and exhibits. At the Memory Technology forum we will be investigating the issue of archiving from long term, historical and practical perspectives.
