Welcome<\/p>\n
I am thrilled to welcome you to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\u2019s 2019 BFA\/MFA Film,
\nVideo New Media, Animation and Sound Festival. I look forward to encounter, along with you,
\nour students\u2019 brilliant media works over the course of the next four evenings at the Gene Siskel
\nFilm Center. For our students, the festival is a unique opportunity to see their work shine in a
\nstate-of-the art facility and to share the fruits of their labor with an engaged audience.<\/p>\n
Curated by Emily Eddy and Jesse Malmed, two of Chicago\u2019s most dynamic and fearless media
\narts programmers, this year\u2019s festival brings to the screen a wide range of genres and practices:
\ndaring experimental works, ambitious feature films, intimate video essays, hypnotic
\nsoundscapes and rebellious animation shorts. We are proud to celebrate the diverse voices at
\nthe heart of our community. Our festival is an international forum for emerging artists from
\naround the globe.<\/p>\n
Media artists have a great responsibility today. They provide us with alternative ways of looking
\nand understanding the world we live in. They have the ability to transform and enhance
\nperception. Once the light goes down, we invite you to immerse yourself in a world of visionary
\nexperiences and adventurous storytelling.<\/p>\n
Please join me in congratulating this remarkable group of artists on all their achievements.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the festival!<\/p>\n
