Analogica is a small festival held yearly in northern Italy (close to the border to Austria and Switzerland) which focuses on topics like creative and explorative use of analogue material/equipment and “slow tech”.
One part of the festival is dedicated to the screening of films shot on super8, 8mm and 16mm material, but in recent years the performace-oriented aspect of the event has become increasingly more important.
I’m not officially part of the organization (though I’m a member of the association), I just help out sometime, when I have time and energy to do so. But I’ve been mostly helping with the performances. Last year we had two Italian artists Andrea Bui and Vanessa Trippi working with tape loops and synth noise and the Canadians Thisquietarmy and Philippe Leonard fusing post-rock guitar and live-manipulated 16mm projections. It’s been quite an amazing evening!
Anyway, check out the call here: http://www.analogica.org/performances-2017.html and of course get in touch with me if you have questions!
If you’re also into shooting films and analogue photography, there’s a call for the first and a contest for the second (but the latter is not online yet)
