The 10 outstanding international artists are part of this selection of the 16th Edition of PROYECTOR Festival.
Their artworks ponder on the current political and social issues, on life and memory and emptiness. Topics that are approached from different cultural, intimate perspectives.
A dialogue is created between the works that address a universal feeling, asking the question: What do we see? What do we want to see?
PROYECTOR is a platform for the dissemination of the moving image, emphasizing on its more experimental, contemporary and commitment nature. The Festival has been active since 2007, collaborating with almost 70 international festivals and more than 100 venues with the participation of artists from more than 60 countries.
Every year about twenty events take place between presentations, performances, meetings and activities -all of them free entrance and broadcast via streaming- in the city of Madrid. The Festival has grown to become a space of reference for cultural exchange, connecting more than 20 cultural venues in each edition.
A new edition of PROYECTOR is back with more news than ever!
The PROYECTOR Platform intended for Images of Movement gives voice to non-cinematic normative proposals; pieces that seek the relationship with the body, the scale and the space that houses them; pieces that need a viewer to get involved, to be present around the piece to be able to understand them in their entirety.
From September 6th to 17th, 2023, more than twenty spaces in the city of Madrid intersected, showing new languages and formats through some 100 pieces of expanded cinema, performance, video art, site-specific pieces, interactive pieces and unique works.
The collaborating venues are creating a cultural route giving visibility to both the most independent and the most consolidated spaces, going from the central areas to the outskirts neighborhoods of the capital.
We find proposals both curated by the PROYECTOR platform and by the galleries and museums themselves that are part of the OFF Tour. As always, our selection included works by invited artists and artists selected by an international public call whose jury was Rosell Meseguer, Guillermo G. Peydró and Carlos T. Mori. Likewise, we have collaborations, such as the usual Loops.Expanded, Miden, PLAY and Fonlad. All the pieces on display have been grouped into curatorships differentiated by their current themes. Two of the pieces most valued by the jury will be awarded the Hertzog Da Silva Prize.
