Cream

Different Venues, Yokohama

The festival embraces a variety of different fields, including contemporary art, media art, animation, film, photography and etc. It aims to encourage people to think about and discuss new forms of expression and new directions for our future by providing not only opportunities for people to view artworks, but also space for people to participate in image production, relax and talk to others while enjoying views of the port and the ocean around the city.

During the 150th anniversary year of the Yokohama port opening, the city is hosting the International Festival for Arts and Media Yokohama 2009 as part of the Creative City Yokohama initiative. The festival embraces a variety of different fields, including, but not limited to, contemporary art, media art, computer graphics, animation, film and photography. This event is not restricted to the confines of an art or film festival, but aims at becoming a new breed of festival that will push the boundaries of media and art as we know them. Approximately fifty artists in and out of Japan will participate in the festival.

Works related to moving images from a wide range of genres will be presented together in Yokohama. As an unprecedented festival of media and art culture, it will be a space not only for the artists to share their work, but also for the public to take an active role and participate in a variety of projects and conversations. In our aim to question and explore the role and direction of imagery expression in today's society, we hope the works and opportunities presented at this festival will spark forward-thinking discussion and investigation into the related themes.
