4th annual CFA MEDIA MIXER

June 18, 2015 from 8-11:59pm

 

CFA’s annual video remix benefit returns with an impressive lineup of video premieres, DJs and raffle prizes. At the heart of this fabulously fun event is the world premiere of 3 video collaborations made entirely with footage from CFA.

The way this works: CFA asks three artists to make a short video piece using footage from CFA’s collections and then to turn that piece over to a sound artist/musician who records a score specifically for the piece.  In other words:

  • CFA footage x 3 filmmakers x 3 audio artists
  • Shake them up
  • Throw 3 magical sight and sound creations up on the screen

This year’s talented line-up includes (filmmakers listed first):

Amir George + The O’Mys
Jesse Malmed + ONO
Fern Silva + Phil Cohran

(more on this year’s artist lineup here)

The evening will be hosted by Alison Cuddy (Chicago Humanities Festival) with sounds from DJ Naomi Walker
