Adventures in moving image continue this year with what is the biggest onedotzero festival edition yet. Beginning this weekend, Onedotzero 4: welcome to the world of fractured narratives, twisted trajecries and visual hooks ? ‘a graphic fuelled collision of global styles and creativity’.The onedotzero event was set up as a visual ideas lab, a catalyst for new work. Now the festival is pursuing the future of storytelling in moving image, interactive work, motion graphics and live performance from underground and contemporary talents. Many of the artists, designers and filmmakers involved work both commercially and on personal projects, from print to games, from clubs to the Net. Features include Pornostar by Toyada Toshiaki, an amorality play set in Tokyo?s Shibuya district, as well as work by Mike Mills, Ryutaro Nakamura and Taro Rin. Then there are the traditional onedotzero programmes: Wow and Flutter including work from the Bytler Bros., Jake Knight, Spon, Grant Gee and Tomato; Lens Flare, looking at games sequences from Psygnosis, Parasite Eve, Prince of Persia and Imperium Galactica, amongst others and J-Star, looking at the Japanese moving image scene. New this year are Extended Play, a showcase for longer films ?extending beyond traditional styles and stories? (included here are filmmakers Donald Cameron, Sabiston and Pallotta, Julian Hanshaw and the ever-talented Richard Kenworthy) and Departure, which covers thew best recently acquired music documentaries. That?ll give you the chance to see things like Better Living Through Chemistry by Jon Reiss, and Meeting People Is Easy, the ?groundbreaking? documentary on Radiohead. Meanwhile a series of panels under variously suggestive titles ? ?The Exploded Filmmaker?, ?New Media in Motion?, run alongside presentations from Hammer and Tongs, Imaginary Forces and Deepend.
