Multifestival 2018: Move of the skeleton

akjetam — Sun, 18 Nov 2018 13:09:30 +0000

With the support of the Arts Support Fund, the City of Trenčín and the Trenčianska Foundation, the third follow-up of the Children’s Festival under the new name Multifestival took place on June 26, 2018. The name of the festival changed based on the feedback we received. We have learned that children of elementary school no longer feel like children, so we have chosen to change the name of the festival in order to maintain the attractiveness and multi-genre.

The theme of the 3 rd year was a dance with the subtitle: Move of the skeleton. The program was played in the interior and exterior of the Hvězda cinema in Trenčín. The first part consisted of a presentation section, where various dance groups appeared, representing a wide range of styles and types of dance. The current dance was represented by experienced performer Martina Vargová from Trnava, Hip hop presented dance group LT – Len dance from Nová Dubnice, folk dance – local Trenčan Folklore ensemble, social dance – MS Dance, and the penetration between dance and martial art represented by the band – Abadá Capoeira. The live performances of the dancers were divided by two blocks of short video cards, animations and movies. The whole program was moderated by young talented moderator Renata Iršová from Trenčín. At the end of the “static” section, the children were divided freely into four groups for hip-hop, contemporary dance, folk dances and an attractive, accompanying program from KC Activities. It has actually come to the movement on one’s own skin and to the basic elements of dance styles, or various movement and dance-related activities. Interestingly, Martinina Varga’s workshop was the most successful of the world from the least known form – contemporary dance.

Among the strengths of the festival, we can certainly advise on the feedback of performers and spectators, an excellent organization, also contributed by five volunteers led by Mgr. art. Štefan Oliš (Simona Lengvarská, Ivana Juríčková, Tereza Repková, Boris Mozola and Kristína Mošková) as well as the traditional part of KC Activities. It can be said that everything was clapping and walking as watches and we are more sorry about the number of participants who moved (in smaller numbers than a year ago) about 400 children. We already know that we have much more programmatic as well as spectator potential. In this respect, we want to develop even more activity, set the right strategy and get stable young participants.

The Idea of the Festival to Mediate and Present to Children and Youth under the Castle of Matúš Čáka The different genres of culture, art and creativity (2016: The Film World, 2017: Open Studio, 2018: Skeleton of the Skeleton) is conceptually fulfilled. We are glad that we have spent the organizational part. Thus, the Multifestival continues its full-fledged trend and continues to develop its tradition.

Animation workroom

akjetam — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 16:20:39 +0000

Animation is a way of creating seemingly moving things. Animation = revival. Who is the animation workshop designed for? Children aged 6-14 years in particular (older but interested parties or parents may also participate). What do you learn about the workshop? At the workshop, we are devoted exclusively to the manual technique of animation. You will use your creativity to create a short animated movie. The animation principle is a record of the sequential sequencing of the images. The rapid impression of these images gradually results in a sense of smooth motion due to the inertia of the human eye. However, images must be played at a rate that is no longer captured by the eye. How workshop works? As soon as you arrive, you will choose from several possible techniques you want to address. First of all, for the inspiration, we release films from the previous workshop. You can work in groups, with a friend or with a parent, an old parent :-). With movies you can then boast wherever you want.

Lecturer Matej Mazák (TRAKT) realized the Animation Workshop in Uherské Hradiště (Czech republic) at Movie theater Hvězda on 27 March 2017 and during the workshop children created their first short animation animations.

About Očova

The member of TRAKT and a documentary filmmaker Marek Janičík made a 30-minute documentary called „Cinema World“ 3 years ago. It is a film about one of last classic (motion picture) cinemas in Slovakia that was in operation for over 60 years. However, the parish council was forced to close the cinema due to lack of finance in order to digitize its film projector. In fact, this is how more than 70% of classic cinemas ceased to exist. Being depicted in the documentary, this tragicomic story was brought to fame and was well-received at international film festivals. Up to now, the documentary has been screened at 26 international film festivals and has won 6 awards. Fortunately, the times have changed and the Ministry of Culture came to realize that local cinemas are an essential element in the cultural life of villages. Along with libraries cinemas used to be the only cultural venues in small towns as well as villages. Accordingly, the Ministry of Culture and the Audiovisual Fund made a decision to create a cheaper version of digitization which would be affordable for smaller communities outside major Slovak cities.

After having been closed for more than a year and several months, the cinema Osveta at Očová was one of the facilities approached by the Ministry to digitize and reopen. The village (also thanks to the documentary) became one of the first three digitized village cinemas in Slovakia that did not shy away and consequently resumed screenings on 8 March 2014. People can comfortably watch latest movies without having to travel to neighbouring Detva, Zvolen or Banská Bystrica. And guess what the exclusive premiere in the reconstructed cinema was. You bet – „Cinema World“.

From one of the respondents was the cinema theaters in Ocova Enlightenment, which was close for over a year and a few months. Village Očová also thanks to the film digitization WORLD CINEMA intimidation factor, so 8 March 2014 opened the gates of the new digitized cinema Ocova (one of the first three digitized rural cinemas in Slovakia). Residents of the village can not travel to the theater in the Zvolen, Banska Bystrica or Detvy, but you can see the movie news in the village. A film which was screen in a restored cinema first? Why, WORLD CINEMA.

The cinema in Považska Bystrica had been operating for more than 50 years. Causing by new technology on digital screening, it was closed in 2012 and people from the town have to travel to cities around there. Moreover, some other cultural institutions in the town have been closed recently. Thanks to these circumstances, people of Povazska Bystrica started to take care for culture production by themselves, creating new associations. One of those is new film club FILMS IN ATELIER, created on April 15, 2013 in renovated building of school of arts. Tatiana Haviarová and Marek Janičík of TRAKT are authors of project concept and dramaturgy.

PerformAction

PERFORM ACTION – Minifest of the Action art and performances in Banská Bystrica (Slovak National Uprising Square and Cinema “Star”) happened on May 19th, 2010. Students of the Department of Intermedia and Digital Media – FFA – Academy of Arts participated on this project. We could put this event under a certain form of happening when one day the streets literally were dominated by students from FFA in Banská Bystrica. Their actions disrupted the stereotype of a typical day in the town. There were produced many performances, very good at quality, which solved current issues and deeper topics too. They weren’t mean like the first shocked action, but most works had quite deep sophisticated concept. Nevertheless, messages could be relatively easy to identify, which certainly appreciated the audience in a public space thus residents of the city.
