The A/V Swap
The A/V Swap - Showing for Buffalo Artists - 08/06/2009
This event highlights the work of the Buffalo artists participating in this year's A/V Swap.
The A/V Swap creates a forum for musicians and filmmakers to collaborate on video projects while expanding their creative horizons. The idea is that musicians to submit a soundtrack (without a film) and filmmakers to submit a film (without a soundtrack) to The A/V Swap. The projects are then randomly exchanged, distributing one movie to each musician and one soundtrack to each filmmaker.
Each artist must then complete the video projects; musicians will create a soundtrack inspired by their newly acquired video and filmmakers create a video inspired by the audio track that they have received. The resulting video projects are a melding of two creative minds, that often, have never met.
In this swap musicians and filmmakers are paired anonymously, which adds to the fun. The films are then presented in the participating cities with the most innovative and interesting collaborations included in the main event, The Best of The A/V Swap 2009.
The participating cities in 2009 are: Buffalo, NY - New York City, NY - Houston, TX - Austin, TX
Admission is 5 dollars and there is a cash bar.
