Screening: Re-enactment Videospiegel | The first programme of VideoFilmFest '88
The connection between the video festival, the work and the artists is somewhat loose. Successful videos feature at countless festivals, but often their creators do not even attend the screenings. And yet every one of these screenings – at least those with videos of short running times – is totally unique. The works are gathered together in a programme which, under normal circumstances, is never screened again outside of the festival. We have therefore decided for the 25th anniversary of transmediale to once again screen as a loop the opening programme from the first VideoFest in 1988; not only does this bring together a range of remarkable videos that have rarely been seen since, but also, as an opening programme, it offers a compelling statement of VideoFest's own agenda.
