Cracow Screen Festival

16 performers, 3 days, 2 stages, visual art screened on buildings, houses and screens – all this can be expected during first Cracow Screen Festival, which will be held in Cracow from 2nd till 4th May 2008.

The event will start the festival season in Poland, as well as the tourist season in Cracow. In the long run the CSF is designed to become one of the largest live music events in the country and the biggest annual video art presentation in Poland.

Over the three May days (the traditional Polish “long weekend”) the historic Cracow squares (Jan Nowak-Jeziorański Square and Szczepanski Square) will witness live performances of well established bands and shows of visual art, created by artists specializing in video art and artistic film. Visual art will be ubiquitous: films will be shown in most public spaces, e.g. on ATM screens,video screens, TV-sets in shopping malls, etc. The festival will host two distinctive visual artists: *Floria Sigismondi* – Italian born photographer and director, known for working with Bjork, White Stripes, Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, The Cure, Muse, Interpol; and *Maria Mochnacz*, known for her unique portraits and videoclips of PJ Harvey. The three days will turn Cracow into one gigantic music screen.

Two main stages will host seven bands daily. The audience can move about freely from one square to another, thus creating a festival programme of their own. There will be three kinds of tickets available: single use (one stage only), a day ticket (both stages) and a festival pass (valid for all concerts).
