Avi Krispin 


Avi Krispin (b. Israel, 1980) is a video artist based in Amsterdam. In her short films, video installations and photos, she dissects societal interactions by focusing and exaggerating isolated moments. She creates highly controlled situations in which her characters remain trapped, doomed to repeat the same pattern again and again – feeling that something is amiss, but finding a way to play along.


Igor Sirjanow (Desert Ship) 


For us –Desert Ship- making films is the love to hurl ourselves into an adventure. A great adventure…starting with an idea, followed by the elaboration leading us into an artistic world without limits. Over to the technical realization, that challenge us in the reality. Up to the most important moment, when we can make our phantasy, our creativity, our cinematographic craft and the passion pooled in one film, visible for everyone.

Marco Tavolaro 


I'm a 29-years-old Italian transmedia artist and art director based in Madrid, Spain. My working tools include from bic pens and acrylic paint on paper or canvas, to digital animation, land art, installation, video editing, scriptwriting and mapping projections. Since 2010 I've been drawing with both hands, giving visual representation to the functional characteristics of the two cerebral hemispheres. At the same time I developed performance and land art work with the objective of discussing the distortion of perception, the contrast of interests between people and authorities, the freedom of expression. My last project deals with the creation of visual art in Vipassana meditation state, and the expansion of this one to group dynamics by means of the "Collective Unintentional Performances".
