18-20 December 2003
Bitterzoet

A three-day festival including three nights of video programmes and one night of performance.

The TV Sheriff and Trail Buddies as well as Misty Martinez and Douggpound will be performing live. Agit-prop media from Select and Lumpen magazines, as well as installations by Save America, Make Out Not War and other surprises will be presented. Plus screenings of videos and films that give a glimpse of dissent by cultural workers from the US and beyond.

The festival highlights 'Cultural Interference' and will share an examination of works by radical cultural activists and experimental video makers critiquing various coercive forces and systems. Mixing desktop editing techniques and a good sense of humorthese makers appropriate work, divert and re-edit it as a way to register their dissent. Described as tactical mediaticians, culture jammers, troublemakers, media activists and pranksters, these creators have made works that are some of the best from the digital video underground.

TV sheriff is simply amazing, remixing video and playing live electronic music with his pals from the No TV land. Cold Cut (Ninja Tune) told the TV sheriff that he V-jamms better than they do!
