OPEN CALL Temporary Urban Screen Riga

Screencity Lab in collaboration with Interactionfield is organizing two temporary urban screenings in the context of Waterpieces Festival(Riga, Latvia 15-17 August 2014) that coincides with the Riga City Festival 2014 (in the program of Riga 2014 – European Capital of Culture).

Many distinguished institutions, such as Streaming Museum (New York), Screencity Festival (Norway), Paf Festival of Film Animation (Czech Republic), and others, have already confirmed participation with their work. What will be offered in this screening are works that have already been shown on big screens in other cities, the favourites of these audiences. In addition, new works that have been chosen especially for the festival “Waterpieces” will be presented.

There are two overriding topics to be found among the screened videos: “city as context” and “city as character”.  The first section focuses on how urban environment acts as background for human actions, while the second section focuses on the city itself – an active character of a story, influencing our way of life, our thinking and perception.
