Rotterdam VHS Festival (NETHERLANDS)
4 September 6-8pm Basement Theatre, Footscray Arts, Melbourne
Punky shorts from Tulip-world’s industrial heartland to delight and annoy.
The best of recent years’ submissions to the Rotterdam VHS Festival, a provocative video and animation event held regularly at Het Wilde Weten studios, Rotterdam. Playful, satirical, scratchy and exuberant, the videos in this collection dispel the recent rumour that video art is a boring universe of slow-motion, gallery-based, under-developed guff.
Melbourne artist and one-time Footscray Arts workshop tutor Cassandra Tytler is the latest Melbournite to have her work screened in the Festival. We are proud to present the Rotterdam VHS Festival for the first time in Australia.
Special thanks to Niels Post and the Rotterdam VHS Festival team
