Dear All, Following on from Gair's email about yet another new, new media festival (and previous discussion on the list) this month's topic is new media festivals and specifically if this is something that Scotland should have as an annual event?
There were previously events such as New Visions and the Edinburgh Film & Video Festival, more focused on short video and film (Chris might want to say something about their amalgamation of sorts and having been part of both at various times)...yet now we have no such platform although there is a substantial amount of work of work going on here in this area. Do people feel there are enough venues and opportunities to show new media work specifically in Scotland without creating such a specific platform? Any reports from previous interesting (and not so interesting) new media festivals/events would be most welcome too.
