Cinemaztlán has organized a special presentation of Mexican video art with artist never seen before in the Netherlands. The guest curator of the program, José Manuel Springer, has made a challenging video art program titled Videum, which will address the blurring frontier between fiction and reality in Mexico. The name evokes the relation between God and Video, as a reference to the increasing presence of video in our lives and the loss of limits formerly associated with movies, open TV, and virtual reality games.

Additionally, José Springer will lecture on topics and meta tags associated with reality and fiction in video art production of these artists. Verena Grimm, whose video Tracing my footsteps is included, will be in attendance. The lecture will be held on Saturday, October 31st, from 17.00 till 19.00 and the day will include the screening of video works not seen in the general program. Entrance is free.
