Ever since its establishment, the EMAF has been one of the most influential Media Art forums. As an international meeting point for artists, curators, gallery owners and an audience of specialists, the festival has had a great impact on topics and aesthetics of Media Art. Every year the festival offers a current overview of experimental films, installations, performances, digital formats and hybrid forms, ranging from popular subjects and formal experiments to provocative statements.

At the festival an international jury will present the EMAF Award for a trend-setting work in Media Art and the ›Dialogpreis‹ of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the promotion of intercultural exchanges. Also the jury of the German Federal Association of Film Journalists will be awarding the prize for the best German experimental film.

Not only the latest productions will be presented – inventories and perspectives will also be a focal point of the anniversary in 2007. How has digitalisation changed artistic production? What effects does this have on distribution and marketing – and also on reception? What are the interdependencies between artistic and commercial media production? Have these processes affected aesthetics and contents?

You are invited to discuss these and other questions at the festival, to celebrate this anniversary n April 2007 and to discover the fascination of the experimental with EMAF.
