Videocreation in Galicia: A Cartography

Throughout the month of September, the Instituto Cervantes’s Vimeo channel becomes a space where cinema, video art, video clips and other models of audiovisual creation of imprecise definition converge, as it is especially in these tangential territories, at these intersections, where experimentation and development of new audiovisual languages are more conducive. This month, thanks to the collaboration between the Instituto Cervantes and the festival of contemporary audiovisual art Intersección from A Coruña (Galicia, Spain), the series “Videocreation in Galicia: A Cartography” shows a collection of extremely heterogeneous pieces, whose common points are, on the one hand, their will to overcome or reinvent the limits of audiovisual language; and, on the other, having formed this Galician festival with an international vocation, which seeks to accommodate and disseminate the new voices of audiovisual creation. From the work of Alberte Pagán, who plays with the projection of roots on the live recording of an anti-fascist demonstration, to the rhythmic and vibrant video creations of the DSK collective, to the animated satire of David Fidalgo, the viewer will find a very wide spectrum of videos of remarkable singularity. In short, “Videocreation in Galicia: A Cartography” forms a space that is as singular as it is necessary because it accommodates borderline and little-travelled cinematographic languages, whose authors are undoubtedly called upon to renew the possibilities of audiovisual language and experimental cinema in Spain.
