In 1973 MIFF was registered by the International Federation of Film-producers associations (FIAPF) as an "A" class film festival alongside with those in Berlin, Cannes, San-Sebastian, Karlovy Vary and Venice. This is the fourth year Media Forum is organized as part of the Moscow International Film Festival. The role of new media in audiovisual art and culture received due recognition and Media Forum was immediately introduced into the official program of MIFF. Media Forum is the first event of such scale in Russia and it reveals a new vision of the world of new media culture and new screen technologies to the professionals, critics and public in general. The objective of Media Forum is to demonstrate the connection between traditional and modern branches of screen culture, the impact of technological innovations on visual arts. Media Forum as action is an exchange of ideas, infusion of new forces into contemporary culture and vice versa. It is an attempt to demonsrtate the logic of new thought and new communications. At the moment it is inside media culture that new ideas go through trial and approbation, ideas that cannot be realized in contemporary art context. >>MF programme 2003 1..

The International Conference "Future Cinema" Round table "Trash: at the film industry's backyard" We invite the participation of producers, art critics, film directors, artists and journalists >>>About Trash Key words: Trash - crash of machine (computer) logic Trash - crash of user logic Trash - failure of image creating Trash - cracked art - isn't to be identified, is unexpected by society, critics, doesn't conform to the demands, wishes, logic Trash - as fashion, style, freedom Idea Today it is necessary to revive the original radicalism of the media- technologies. This is not a problem of technology, but a problem of philosophy and ideology. We are interested in projects that revolt against the technology itself. What do we need technologies for if they cannot express new ideas? These are old technologies. New technologies come first of all new objectives. Today the concepts of "trash & trash art" have acquired quite a variety of interpretations. Our task is to confine them to categories conforming with new tendencies in ideology and culture. For us "trash" stands for the positive radicalism in art, technology and forms of communication. Media Forum is the search for materials and criteria. The interaction of art and technology frames the conception within which our festival works. What do we need technologies for if they cannot express the tendencies of new thought? >>>>International Board a..
