Visioneca will feature unconventional ‘film’ makers: new media artists, researchers, VeeJays, motion-graphics artists, music-promo directors and performance artists at Freshwater Bay House Hotel, Freshwater.

There will be short talks and introductions to various aspects of how artists have created experimental explorations of the moving image over the last century or so, and we will show examples of experimental film and digital media that will be new to many viewers.

Visioneca will strive to make this work accessible to non-specialist and non-academic newcomers to this important and inspirational alternative history of film and motion image.

The presentations will be short and digestible, aimed at newcomers to this sector of art. We intend to present sessions that are inspirational, informative, exciting and entertaining.

We believe that the best way of introducing new work is in the context of the broader more conventional story of Film and we want to engage with an audience of younger people whose knowledge of this context is necessarily limited.

We want to cover the important developments in audio-visual and filmic art that are not usually addressed in the school curriculum.

We are aware that the current iterations of experimental work in motion-image and film-making have considerable implications for the UK creative industries generally, and that Visioneca will aim to provide new and useful overviews and insights for content developers - from conventional broadcasters and publishers to mobile service providers, online broadband services, marketeers, and all others working in the information and communication sectors.

The Visioneca day will consist of two sessions, early and late afternoon, each featuring a medley of work from both current practitioners and film and media historians, covering between them both the back story and current state of the art in the moving image sector.

With short 5 to 15 minute presentations and show and tells, the Visioneca afternoon and early evening will be inspirational and intensely informative - and importantly it will be a powerful mix of information and entertainment, designed to provide an inspiring introduction to experimental work in the moving image.

The story of experimental film is ongoing - the filmic media are being reinvented as we speak, Visioneca will provide an inspirational and informative briefing on both the back-story and the developing future of Film. Come and join us.

The cost is just £5 per day or £2 per session.

Students and over 65s £3 per day or £1 per session and under 16s are free.
