Wrocław, Poland
Punto y Raya and CeTA join forces once again to coproduce a new PyR Festival, on this occasion, in its JUNIOR format.
Based in Barcelona, MAD is a non-profit association devoted to cultural engineering through the development of projects involving Art, Science and Technology.
Based in Wroclaw, CeTA (Audiovisual Technology Center) is an innovative cultural facility working in the field of new visual technologies, primarily for use in cinematography.
This extension of Punto y Raya Festival follows the same spirit and features the same activities as the “senior” editions of the world benchmark for Abstract Art in Motion. The difference is that the contents are MADE BY CHILDREN aged under 13 years old.
The second PyR Junior edition will take place October 4 - 6th 2019, hosted and coproduced by CeTA (Audiovisual Technology Center) in Wroclaw, Poland. The Call for Abstract Short Films is currently open, with online and free submissions. The deadline is August 5th.
Other activities include live audiovisual concerts & performances -also produced by children-, workshops exploring various artistic, scientitic & technological disciplines, interactive installations, and guest screenings.
Created by CeTA // Audiovisual Technology Center
For various months prior to the event, institutions around the globe will be coordinating workshops for children and educators to produce animated short films for our International Call. The creative process behind the resulting works will be shown during our opening ceremony at CeTA; thus, we ask all participants to please register the process on video!
