THE TGV IN 50 SECONDS
VIDEO ART FESTIVAL
The project of this video demonstration is a homage to the Lumière brothers and the recognition of the fundamental rolethat the train had and has in the development of the voyage.
We are sure that “L'arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat”, a short of 50 seconds, was the first art film in the history. In its brevity, it takes on the cinematographic language and attests the social development in the sense of modernity, interpreted as freedom of collective and fast voyage.
And now? Finished all the illusions of the modernism and postmodern, people opens everywhere reflections on the sustainability of the train in his high-speed version, the TGV in France. Progress or portent of new disasters in environment? Other? Answers are awaited: yours.
CO.AR.CO. will dedicate its activity of the cultural season 2012 at the realization of an artists’ video collection on the topic of the TGV. The videos, just like the original film of the Lumière brothers “L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat”, have a length of 50 seconds (+ generic titles) developing the subject of a travel by train.
Participation is free. All the videos will be presented on the site of CO.AR.CO.
PROGRAM:
• 2012: Call to project, presentation on the Internet and selection of the 50 best videos to be inserted in a next publication on DVD.
• 2013: Edition of a DVD of the 50 selected videos and screening in the mythical cinema hall “EDEN” of La Ciotat, on the occasion of ”Marseille-Provence 2013, Capitale Européenne de la Culture”. A copy of the DVD will be sent to the authors.
• Submission: from December 10th, 2011 to Avril 10th, 2012
