FESTIVAL OF NEW CINEMA AND DIGITAL CULTURE
SAVE THE DATE –
Abandon Normal Devices, 23-27 September 2009, Liverpool
Abandon Normal Devices (AND) is a new festival of Digital Culture and New Cinema, inviting us to consider what are our normal devices? And why and how might we abandon them?
AND kicks off 23 September 2009 in Liverpool with five days filled with screenings, exhibitions, public interventions, debates and workshops. Highlights of the festival include influential artists such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul, The Yes Men, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Carolee Schneemann, Jamie King and DJ Spooky.
At the heart of AND lies a fascination with ideas about social, physical and technological norms, offering artistic approaches from the playful to the downright provocative, and featuring a distinctive emphasis on critique and ideas. A Northwest festival, AND will continue with future editions in Cumbria, Lancaster, Cheshire and Manchester.
AND is presented by FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) (Liverpool), Cornerhouse (Manchester) and folly (Lancaster). The festival forms part of WE PLAY, the Northwest cultural legacy programme for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

UNeECC General Assembly and Conference, Liverpool, 16-17 October, 2008
The University Network of the European Capitals of Culture (UNECC) has the pleasure to announce you the UNeECC General Assembly and Conference held on 16-17 October, 2008 in Liverpool, this year’s European Capital of Culture.
The title of the Conference is ‘Whose Culture?’. Please find registration details and the Programme of the Conference at the UNeECC website: www.uneecc.org
The deadline of registration is 15 September, 2008.
The Conference will be jointly hosted by Liverpool Hope University, the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University. This unique collaboration clearly demonstrates how universities can and must contribute to the success of a European Capital of Culture programme.
The central theme of our conference is: Whose culture(s)?
University students and faculty, as well as cultural professionals active in past, present and future European Capitals of Culture will present papers in three different conference tracks:
1. European Capitals of Culture - whose culture? : high vs. popular culture;
cultural identity; centre vs. periphery; European culture vs. European (local?)
cultures.
2. European Capitals of Culture and their impact on culture(s): socio-cultural
impact of ECCs; ECCs as catalysts of cultural awareness; ECCs - fleeting events or
milestones?; ECC-bids, cultural competition and attraction.
3. Events and culture (non-academic track): Presentations about ECC-events and
cultural attractions of given ECCs.
The Liverpool conference will touch upon key issues emerging from the way culture is perceived and dealt with by the different stakeholders in European Capitals of Culture, e.g. cultural policy makers, the general public, local authorities, citizens, visitors and tourists, academics, artists etc. Given the academic objectives of the conference, presentations will focus on new insights into the functioning of European and international culture and the relevance of these insights for cultural policy makers.
Information and Registration
Online registration is requested on the UNeECC website: www.uneecc.org
The deadline of registration is 15 September 2008.
