FORM
Xperimental
Film Festival, Nicosia, Cyprus.
Deadline: 31 July 2007
Following the success of the previous experimental film
festivals, the experimental music (Sonic Arts) and the Urban Soul
Festival, the PANTHEON Cultural Association is quickly establishing
itself as the official playground for Cypriot and International
experimentalists.
Experimentation is described as an upcoming
art movement, which has recently introduced itself to the Cyprus
arts scene with surprising dynamism. In itself, experimentation can
be seen objectively, individually and most of all personally. The
character of any form of experimentation in art releases an honest
and playful visual expression. The participants of the Xperimental
festival have each d eveloped their own unique style of film
producing an atmospheric result either technically, visually, or
through a given concept. The beauty of experimental films lies
within its final result, and its result can best be described as
removing boundaries and limits within art. The festivals' main aim,
throughout its brief but successful history, has been to give
creative people of all kinds a medium and an opportunity to let them
show the Cyprus audience their own personal visions through film.
The Pantheon Cultural Association believes that experimentation in
all forms of art must be supported in order to keep the vibe fresh
ideas and new ways of thinking alive

OVERVIEW
The Colony is designed to
facilitate a balance between a focus on work and interdisciplinary
interaction. Private
studios are available to artists 24 hours a day along with the
dining and recreation rooms at Colony Hall, providing an environment
adaptable to each individual's needs. To ensure the autonomy and
privacy of all Colonists, no one may visit a studio without an
