The Performed Image

Abstract

This is a series of short films and animations in loop that deal with the presentation of the "performed image", meaning that a static image, such as a photo or video still, is used as a type of requisite and is performed via the actions of the actors within the context of the animation. The image is performed released from its static boundaries and there by takes on a new and active roll as an animation that is central to the animation. The films selection has been curated by the British Film Maker Peter Richardson. The program will contain a number of world and national premiers at the screening.
