ONEDOTZERO INTRODUCES NEW FESTIVAL CATEGORIES; SEEKING MOVING IMAGE +
DIGITAL ART EXCELLENCE FOR INTERNATIONAL SHOWCASE OF PROGRESSIVE VISUAL
TALENT


onedotzero's open submissions scheme is one of the few that remains free to
enter, enabling the best up-and-coming talent from around the globe to be
presented alongside world-leading creative luminaries.

the festival is a visual ideas lab revealing future directions in motion,
featuring new and specifically commissioned works; liberating talent to
present new moving image possibilities and encouraging interdisciplinary
collaboration across all aspects of moving image and other complementary
artforms.

this year's ambitious programme will bring the best of previous programme
strands alongside new categories and activ ities based on the theme of
citystates, which will engage audiences, industry and media with an in-depth
exploration of city life, insights and culture.

'more people than ever before are living in cities bringing with it a
greater socio-cultural mix, sense of movement and transition than previously
experienced. now more than ever it is important to understand and interact
with the broad spectrum of what the city offers us - how we inhabit it, how
we engage with its' cultural make up, and how we view and influence its'
future.'
