Cinema Reset – Videorover: Season 6

Cinema Reset will present three screenings of experimental videos, art, and cinema during the New Orleans Film Festival.

Videorover: Season 6

Videorover, NURTUREart’s dedicated video program, is an ever-expanding forum for emerging and underrepresented artists working in video. While producing and sharing video is becoming increasingly easier, truly exceptional video works still deserve to be presented and appreciated in the best possible way. To this purpose, Videorover aims to present a wide range of videos from local and international artists who are willing to question and extend the perceptual limitations of this medium.

The sixth season of Videorover showcases performance-inspired works made for the camera for presentation on screen, where performance acts allow the camera to complete them, mediating the gap between performer and audience. The program is curated by Rachel Steinberg and Giana Gambino, featuring works by artists: Bridget Batch + Kevin Cooley, Heather Delaney, Kerry Downey + Joanna Seitz in collaboration with Jen Rosenblit, Michael H Hall, Constantin Hartenstein, Gabriel Hosovsky, Lindsay Packer, Daniel Seiple, Alina Tenser, Jacob Tonski, and Roland Wegerer.
