FairPlay film & video award_

  

The Festival_

Founded in Berlin in 2003 as a curated screening platform, to foster the use of filmic language in art.
Fair_Play awards contemporary artistic efforts in blurring technical and aesthetic distinction between art and film. Goal of the award is to reveal new layers of communication between film and art and to stimulate the development of new visual languages and narratives. Fair_Play focuses on film and video works which are conceived specifically for a single-channel, wide screen projection.
Through the screening of film and video works, Fair_Play aims to create an international, multilateral platform of discussion about the relationship between art and film and to serve as a meeting point for a diverse and international group of professionals from the fields of contemporary art, film and video to engage and exchange in critical discourse.
