22 - CROWD SHIFT, Lina Karina (Russia)
This an abstract from audiovisual mash-up which was made together with the musician Max Tatlum.
The piece is based on video documents recorded during the period when a big protest movement arouse in Moscow as a reaction for fraud elections to Duma in the end of 2011. The pieces are cut from youtube and vimeo video documents (both croqwdsourced and some official tv) of different types of protest actions which happened in Russia from the end of 2011 and ending with 6th of May 2012 (when the so called “Bolotnaya protest, famous for police violence and further big political processes has happened).
This is the period, when suddenly a lot of people found it important and realistic to go to the streets to show their disagreement with the official government. The crowd has suddenly shifted from the normal everyday routine to protests. Suddenly the hope, that people can change something when they unite for protest, appeared in people’s minds.

12 - APOLO 11 versión para FEMLINK, Teresa Puppo (Uruguay)
Apolo 11 trabaja sobre la idea del tiempo y de la memoria, para el cual tomo una época fermental de la historia contmporánea y de mi experiencia de vida: el transcurrir de mi adolescencia durante los años 70, en pleno movimiento hippie, Woodstock, las dictaduras latinoamericanas y el Plan Cóndor, surgimiento de la minifalda, Los Beatles, la llegada (realidad o ficción) del hombre a la Luna, el asesinato de J.F.Kennedy, Bangladesh, la guerra de Vietnam, etc.
Me interesa utilizar el concepto tiempo de una forma no lineal, incluir material filmado en la actualidad y material de archivo, intercalando o superponiendo imágenes de la memoria personal con la memoria pública.
