Audio. Video. Avant-garde, structuralism and hypernarrative. | History

The gap between cinema and VJing is a huge chasm, yet the ability to tell stories through audiovisual performance is one of the most interesting and challenging possibilities available to performers today. Against a backdrop of structuralist film, expanded cinema and post modernity in the audiovisual fields Paul Mumford explores the virtues and problems of live storytelling in this engaging video.

This workshop was held as a part of MIGZ 2011 festival in Moscow. We would like to express our gratitude to fotohaus company for the technical support in filming this event.
