“A Film of 60 seconds duration is only limited in the dimension of time, because to the creative Exploration and the wideness of experimental possibilities are set only a few bounderies, if any. Indeed, very often this extreme Form of short Film is a great source and inspirational platform for very concentrated, creative and extraordinary works.”

“While mass media broadcasts remain conservative, radical independent film and video artists are mobilising, conceiving, creating, collaborating and colliding in a growing international scene. Curated by the 17th Curators in Residence, Dan Monceaux and Emma Sterling, this showcase celebrates the wealth and diversity of emerging experimental cinema. Expect visual music, abstraction, animation, surreal music videos and more.”

“On Saturday, September 27th, 2008, each Couch Fest Films house will have its own genre of short movies that play on rotation all day. Starting every hour, each inviting house will have its own unique 30 minute program of short films. You, early adopter and a lover of film, may visit the houses with themes that interest you. The houses will be comfortably located near each other so you can stroll, meander or bike with excitement and anticipation to your next selected house.”
