onedotzero_ adventures in motion festival 2010

the return of the internationally renowned adventures in motion festival sees onedotzero and BFI Southbank join forces once again to present a scintillating array of audiovisual and cinematic experiences. the festival permeates every space of BFI Southbank and the BFI IMAX, showcasing the most progressive new short film from around the world, feature previews, playful interactive installations, startling live audiovisual performances and talks, workshops, director q+as and this year for the first time at BFI Southbank, a gallery show. taking ‘utopian visions’, as a loose theme, we’ve endeavoured to transcend our immediate economic backdrop by embuing the programme with a sense of adventure, hope and creative positivity. with an emphasis on convergence and collaboration, there’s something for everyone to enjoy, from innovative education projects, the family friendly ‘sprites’ screening, new programmes exploring coding, robotica and new city visions. every bit as important as the programme itself is the sense of community that exists as artists, filmmakers and practitioners from all areas of technology and the moving image hang out, and this year we have even more lounges, parties and dj events providing opportunities to meet and mingle with like minded creatives. so come with an open mind and get involved. shane rj walter, director onedotzero stuart brown, head of events, BFI Southbank www.onedotzero.com

onedotzero has always been rather partial to our mechanical friends of the future, demonstrated over the years in the festival programming. this selection explores the ethics and social effects of a world shared with robots or androids, from spy messengers in snowy moscow [cannes lions 2010 grand prix winner - the gift / carl eric rinsch] to extraterrestrial robotic invasions of earth by way of uruguay [ataque de pánico! / fede alvarez].

creatives are increasingly using computer code as a raw material to create fluid and self-perpetuating moving image work. this brand-new programme showcases the most ambitious personal experiments and imaginative examples of generative films from a cuttingedge community demonstrating a completely alternative way of working and realising their creative visions.

a brand new programme of eclectic gems from female animation directors currently leading the way where both emerging and established practitioners in this multifaceted creative field are given a wider platform. highlights include george wu’s charmingly engaging kinetic sculpture-come-music promo and the 2d naïve imaginative style of rca student julia pott’s love story, ‘howard’, where early love’s passion heartbreakingly devolves into domestic humdrum.
