*THE THEME*
Under the theme “*Framing Motion*”, the festival will explore how
practitioners choose to frame movement through their choice of setting and
context, viewed through the eyes of the director, choreographer,
animator,... in defining the boundaries for screen-based works. These can be
real worlds or imaginary, abstract, impossible or augmented environments
defined by a specific visual intent.
In looking at methods of capturing a sense of pulse and energy, we also
investigate definitions of stillness. Rather than contradicting our central
motif, it is the dialogue of pause-and-release through which motion occurs:
capturing - if only for a moment - the essence of life ablaze.

* Alternative Route Awards*
*moves* is part of Alternative Routes, a European network to encourage the
transnational circulation of artistic and cultural works, developing a new
route for experimental screen-based work in collaboration with three
festivals in Hungary, Iceland and Portugal.

*AR Prize:* Win a tour that will take your work as far as Iceland, Hungary
and Portugal.

*AR Tour:* Your work might get selected to be showcased in all of the four
