About [OUT OF FOCUS!]
The theme of VIDEOHOLICA 2013 is [OUT OF FOCUS!]
The 6th VIDEOHOLICA pleads defocussing. Visually, VIDEOHOLICA [OUT OF FOCUS!] pleads against the idling mainstream tendency “everything to be in focus” and against the luxurious advertising image, which is digitally improved and cleaned up from “mistakes”. Creatively, VIDEOHOLICA [OUT OF FOCUS!] pleads for a creative approach, which doesn’t follow the convenient slant of the tendencies. It is that approach, which uses allegorical language and speaks about things without pointing them out, describes them between the lines without “focusing” the camera directly in a point. Politically, VIDEOHOLICA [OUT OF FOCUS!] pleads those alternative views of the problems of today’s society, which are out of focus of the news, and which are not on the agenda of the political analysis of the global community.
VIDEOHOLICA [OUT OF FOCUS!] pleads that outburst of “creative insanity”, after which the world is not the same any more. [OUT OF FOCUS!] is both “blur” and “fog”, but it is also beyond this.
