In the media

Elokuvaohjaaja Claes Olsson loi nuorena visuaalista ”hippifiilistä” Hair-musikaaliin ja oli tietämättään suomalaisen VJ-kulttuurin edelläkävijä: Nyt videoammattilaisia kysytään kaikkialle, isollakin rahalla.


VJ-kulttuuri sai ensimmäisen kotimaisen festivaalinsa: Ideoita visuaaliseen ilmaisuun haetaan vaikkapa Leonardo da Vinciltä.




”Laadukas ja koskettava videotaide ansaitsee näkyvämmän paikan kotimaisen kulttuurin kentällä” – Suomen ainoa vj-kulttuuriin keskittyvä festivaali alkaa tänään.
