LowFiVideoSerbia

With strong conviction that:
- a democratic thing like a camcorder should be used by the people to the fullest,
- a video work should present a voice of an individual from the crowd,
- something technically imperfect is not something worthless,
- everybody's effort deserves a chance to be shown in public,
in July 1997 the project LOW-FI VIDEO was initiated in Cinema Rex in Belgrade.
This project was started with the idea and need to imbue cinema amateurism in Serbia with a new life. Since the non-professionals here, under the existing circumstances, do not have the opportunity to record their work on the film tape, and since video technology advances daily, LOW-FI VIDEO project is designed to be a stimulus to all the interested to use their video cameras in a creative way.
Although the LOW-FI VIDEO project is primarily concerned with the works recorded on the video tape, this project does not deal especially with video art, but is primarily specialized for short feature and documentary films, shot in non-professional and semi-professional conditions. Besides, LOW-FI VIDEO project is especially interested in trash, low-budget and B-production film.
