The Memory and Futurism Festival consists of conferences, ateliers, seminars, various projects and visual art installations, aiming to introduce contemporary multimedia art to the audience. More specifically, Memory and Futurism aims to get to the core of visual art as conceived by the futuristic vision of reality.
There will be film screenings, debates about “Cinema, Video, Art and Futurism” and two ateliers opened to young artists. In the “Searching for Marinetti” atelier, Marc Mercier, artistic director of Instants Video, will talk about Marinetti with Giovanni Lista, an Italian prominent scholar and researcher of the history of Futurism. The “On Video Interaction” atelier will explore various forms of multimedia and interactive art with Renaud Vercey and Bruno Voillot, in collaboration with Mohamed Youssef, a plastic and multimedia artist.
The Festival will take place from December 6th to 13th at the Centre Français de Culture et Coopération in Alexandria, the native town of the founder of the Futurism Movement, Filippo Marinetti, who spent his childhood and youth there. On December 16th and 17th, the Festival will move to the Centre Français de Culture et Coopération in Cairo.
