3rd edition of the Streaming Festival

The 3rd edition of the Streaming Festival was slightly different from previous editions. Most notably was the opportunity to watch films separate from the program. Making it easier to viewers to choose exactly what to watch, and when.

The festival broadcasted 24hrs from the 23rd till the 26th of October 2008. Festival Streams were divided into 14 programs holding almost 200 films. 107 of those films were premièred on the Streaming Festival.

Another première was the sneak preview of Raymond Salvatore Harmon’s film: The Philosopher’s stone, which was officially released later on the 31st of October.

Opera Program

One of the highlights of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing was a duet performed by a western tenor and a classical Chinese opera singer. The Video project Opera is a selection of Chinese and Dutch video makers.
They all sing the same song – with different voices, intonations and nuances-about longing, based on collective and personel memories.
How to adapt to this crazy Global World. How to keep your identity, values and traditions.
And ... which ones?
