Experimentelle Deutsch-Indonesische Musikvideos

Experimentelle Deutsch-Indonesische Musikvideos
Since 1998, the International Film Festival;Oberhausen has a special program for music videos (MuVi Preis) that shows German music videos. It has thus become the first international film festival to accept music videos as an own ART form, not only as an illustration and promotion for music. Music videos at Oberhausen are not evaluated based on their music, but based on visual an filmic aspecs.
Furthermore, Oberhausen recognizes that, being part of the mass culture, music videos are considered a variant of Avant Garde. Experimentelle, Deutsch-Indonesische Musikvideos is the first exhibition that brings together German and Indonesian music videos emanating from the Oberhausen concept.
The exhibition shows 31 experimental music videos, a result of curation of the Oberhausen Film Festival since 1998 untill 2007, under the programme:
Rettung Der Popkultur: Experimentelle Deutsche Musikvideo 1998 - 2003 and 2003 - 2007.The Exhibition presents 17 selected music videos from INDONESIA, produced between 2002 and 2009.
