shadow_play.jpgThe AV Festival 08, the UK’s largest festival of digital art, music and the moving image, will take place in Newcastle, Gateshead, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, in the North East of England from the 28 February - 8 March 2008.

The AV Festival is a biennial international festival of electronic arts, featuring visual art, music and moving image. The theme of AV Festival 08 is Broadcast and it will examine the changing face of broadcasting in the light of the increasing move towards digitisation across Europe and beyond.
This October, the BBC begins to switch off analogue television signals in the UK, paving the way for television to become entirely digital. At the same time as this profound change in our experience of broadcasting takes place, the internet and mobile networks have created opportunities for us to ‘broadcast ourselves’ in entirely new ways. As the landscape of broadcasting changes irrevocably, AV Festival 08 will be a catalyst for debate about the future of broadcasting, and an event to celebrate a century of on-air and online transmission.

AV Festival 08 will include internationally renowned artists, filmmakers, researchers and musicians as well as emerging practitioners. It will feature:

- New commissions of art, music and moving image
- Open Air: an outdoor programme of events
- Concerts & Performances
- Exhibitions in galleries and museums
- A moving image programme
- FM Radio Stations
- Club events and parties
- An industry debate
- Seminars, conferences and talks
- Workshops

The first call for proposals: The first call is for a new sound-based commission (fee UK £5000) :: Deadline: October 15, 2007.

Very soon we’ll also be calling for artists to help us create radio stations across the North East region and to work on several other commissions.
