The festival's combination of the projections and practical workshops wishes mostly to encourage the discourse on establishment of the regional production centres, which would enable authors to work undisturbed and qualitatively in the field of video.
With the expansion of technologies a video medium is accessible for everybody, so the establishment of the centres, which would educate, assure technological upgrading, and quality post-production, is inevitable. Only in this way it will be possible to assert the video medium, which evaluation inside the art system is still very problematic.
A video, as any other medium in the art, needs an idea, sensibility, and mastering of the skill. Joining these components is one of the long-term visions and the topic of the video festival Electric Rats Dream Video Dreams. We would like to achieve the connection between the theory and practice, the combination of which enables better platform and starting point for creative work. Better production conditions are fundamental for any kind of quality work, but above all they are extremely important for young people to whom the video festival Electric Rats Dream Video Dreams is addressed.
