PAND?MONIUM 2001 commissions and presents international work from the
leading lights in film, visual arts and digital culture. Uncompromising,
fresh, compelling and radically diverse, this work speaks on its own terms.
>From daft punk cinema to the finest art film, from installation to the
Internet, from sound art to cinephilia, this is a festival of bleeding
media. It is not about the future, it is now.

PAND?MONIUM 2001 features an intensive festival programme in the Lux Cinema
with over150 new films and videos from around the world.

There are nine new commissions: three for the Lux Gallery, three for the
Single Screen, and three from artists working with emerging technologies.

Talks, performances and special events will ignite discussion and debate
among the thousands expected to converge on London's most vibrant cultural
quarter during March. A national tour follows to venues around the UK.

Selected highlights:

* At a fascinating stage in his career, Mat Collishaw presents
installations across three venues and a giant blue baby?
* Grazia Toderi, one of the many new Italian artists on the rise, subtly
manipulates
 night-time London in a multi-screen aerial projection onto the Lux's
famous windows.

* The artist collective INVENTORY examine the social fallout of enforced
gentrification in their portrait of Mitte, Berlin's answer to Shoreditch.

* Miranda July, the bastard daughter of David Lynch and Kim Gordon, offers
the latest production from the original Big Miss Moviola and a live movie -
The Swan Tool - at the ICA.

* In the hands of Israeli artist Uri Tzaig, the most incendiary issues take
on a new light. Allah Akbar (For the Love of God) is a radical new short
film comprising a set of TV ads for the Act
of Creation, playfully pitching religious faith into sublime commercial breaks.

* Oliver Payne + Nick Relph are young artists on the rise - don't miss
their free-form journey into the dark heart of rural England.

* Eline McGeorge, k10k.de and  HI-RES! - garlanded at  FlashForward 2000 -
feature in the ArtsOnline.com Emerging Technologies Exhibition, capturing
the gadget zeitgeist with ground-breaking new work made especially for
hand-held PDA's.

* The Internet renaissance in vector graphics is celebrated by the new I-D
Media Flash Prize.

* Joan Jonas makes a special appearance in the UK to present rare and
unseen early work.

* Numerous UK and World premieres including work by John Smith, George
Kuchar and Nelson Henricks + cameras mounted on tarantulas, suicide
newsgroups, demonic children, psychotronic blipverts, lost souls on the
information superhighway... a feast of diverse and visionary films.

 * LIGHTWORK

 acceptance of the moving image as a visual arts medium, remaining at the
 forefront of international developments and continuing to open up new
 territories for artists' work. Previous festivals have included commissions
 by Clio Barnard, Michael Curran, Tracey Emin, Dryden Goodwin, Jackie Irvine,
 Smith/Stewart, Thomsom & Craighead, Keith Tyson, Mark Wallinger and Gillian
