(openPR) - CANDELA! Cuban side-tracks independent video from Cuba, curated by Kristin Bergaust.
This compilation of freshly made videos premiered at the Dirctors Lounge 2006 in Berlin and is now online screening on Directors Lounge television monitoranimation.de/dltv/candela.html
"This half-hour of Cuban video is all very recently produced, most of them through “Evolucion Estipulada”, a workshop project and exhibition I was involved in. It is not chosen among the mainstream of Cuban contemporary art, but represents a group of contacts I have developed during several stays in Cuba and through my close co-operation with Cuban artist Alexis Parra (Pucho). The works presented have in common an interest in Cuban daily life and culture along with a certain critical attitude. The works are produced with very simple technical means, video and sound are mostly recorded with the video function on digital still cameras." Kristin Bergaust,
