In July 22nd, 2004 Moving With Movies working in collaboration with independent film curators David Ellis and Saulius Uzbekis presented a private screening of selected films from The First Independent Video & Short Films Festival in ICA (London) attended by representatives from London’s key art film Cinemas and Arts council of England.

Moving With Movies want to continue what they have done so far and make it even more effective and generally available, they are making The Next Festival or The Second Independent Video And Short Films Festival this March 14th – 18th at cinema “Lietuva” in Vilnius.

The Next Festival will have some new things to offer for visitors.
First of all it will take place in wider and bigger space – “Lietuva” cinema. More cinema lovers will be able to watch the films! Secondly, festival will be much longer – a program will take five evenings. Thirdly, for the first time this festival becomes not only a celebration of film, but Moving With Movies invites the creators form other disciplines (print designers, photographs, etc) to share their ideas and works.

Also some video workshops leaded by Thisisamagazine editors will appear in the festival. All who will dare and want to get acquainted with video from practical side can attend them. Local and foreign video makers gonna be the drivers for these workshops. The organizers hope to get a good time during the workshops and to have some creative results – the videos – which will appear on the festival’s closing day.
