Moscow International Film Festival
Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF) is held
since 1959 and gradually it has become one of
most respectable and prestigious film-forums in
the world. In 1973 MIFF was registered by the
International Federation of Film-producers
associations (FIAPF) as an «A» class film
festival alongside with those in Berlin, Cannes,
San-Sebastian, Karlovy Vary and Venice. This is
the sixth year Media Forum is organized as part
of the Moscow International Film Festival. The
role of new media in audiovisual art and culture
received due recognition and Media Forum was
immediately introduced into the official program of MIFF.
Media Forum is the first event of such scale in
Russia and it reveals a new vision of the world
of new media culture and new screen technologies
to the professionals, critics and public in
general. The objective of Media Forum is to
demonstrate the connection between traditional
and modern branches of screen culture, the impact
of technological innovations on visual arts.
Media Forum as action is an exchange of ideas,
infusion of new forces into contemporary culture
and vice versa. It is an attempt to demonsrtate
the logic of new thought and new
communications. At the moment it is
inside media culture that new ideas go through
trial and approbation, ideas that cannot be
realized in contemporary art context.
>>MF programme 2006
1. Festival programme
During preparation to this year MEDIAFORUM Alexey
Isaev (1960-2006), our ideological leader and theoretician, died.
This tragedy brought us to two immanent conclusions:
1. dedicate MEDIAFORUM 2006 to Alexey Isaev memory;
2. select as a theme for the Forum
Autho(Ritarinost) because this was his last will.
Media-artist by the very order of things is
placed in the state of auto(rhetarian) author.
First, as artistic personality generating its
significant discourse, its self rhetoric. He
automatically places itself in opposition to
totality - to its material, to the viewer, to the
society, to the critic, to the power, to the
temporality, and to the space. Authorizing his
conception he wins the fight with the context.
Only charismatic, autonomous, despotic rhetoric
rips the emptiness of distrust, indifference,
apathy. To establish his authority and accomplish
the influence of art the author glows with will,
forth, self-esteem, pretension; under this aegis
he storm the heaven, shoot forward in a deep
avant-garde. Only ambitious will be taken to the future (Victor Misiano).
Secondly, he joined with the tentacles of the
power, i.e. with media. He manipulate with its
manipulators. Media is rhetoric in itself;
without authority of the author it escapes the
grasp. Artist which rules them by the iron hand
doubles authority, i.e. produce art.
The theme of the authority of media is as old as
first experiments of 'guerilla video' of the 60-s
but it haven't lost its actuality. The power
reactualizes it again and again. Now is quite
obvious that without total antagonism and
authority of artist it's not possible interaction with unlimited.
