At a time when film projections are venturing into the Museum and artistic video installations are becoming cinematic, there is a demand for new ways of looking at things. The basic assumption of “re:view” is that in video, film and multimedia there are several overlapping (sub-) types, and distinct boundaries no longer exist.The area in which film assumes some of the features of installations and art videos have cinematic qualities is therefore being promoted in a special competition.The aim of “re:view” is to support innovative working methods and forms of presentation.
An external jury for 2001, comprising the artist Muda Mathis, the cineaste Yves Yersin, Mario Casanova, head of the Centro d’Arte Contemporanea, Bellinzona, came together for a two-day meeting. The jury was supported by the programme designer and art director Frank Hyde-Antwi.
