HCMC – Out Of Frame Festival
23 – 29 Oct 2016
Various locations in HCMC
From the organizer:
OUT OF FRAME (abbreviation: OOF! – with the ‘!’) is a week-long celebration of independent film, moving image and video art of South East Asia. The festival will take place from the 23rd to the 29th of October at various non-theatre, everyday Saigon locations. Every event / evening during the week will have its own theme and feature collaborations with regional initiatives, collectives, curators and filmmakers – a number of whom will be present throughout the week to hold talks and workshops.
Approaching OOF!, besides the artists/filmmakers and their works (brilliant, enlightening and challenging in their own rights), we seek to put the spotlight also on the audience. Unlike the former who are always discerningly defined, the audience – more often than not – is composed entirely of the unknown coming and going of a mass of strangers, sharing but a few brief hours in the darkness of a cinema theatre, their individual lives perhaps hinted at, yet remaining unexplored.
Over the duration of OOF!, the audience is encouraged to capture their impressions, experiences, and encounters of, and at, the festival, using any possible medium (video, image, prose, chart – anything goes). The resulting materials are to be compiled after OOF! is finished, with a plan for publishing them afterwards.
Through this little experiment, OOF! hopes to uncover new relationships between the creators and the public.
