Manifesta

Wishing you all Happy 2012 - and a little present, for your smart phones: Manifesta now has a mini mobile website, to present 'Breaking into the Museum'. From now on, you can watch the films on the move!

Manifesta is delighted to announce that the film 'Black to Yellow', directed by Chris Lamontagne, was awarded 2 United Nations Alliance of Civilisation Plural+ awards. See press release here

We can announce that the 'Breaking into the Museum' films are permanently anchored within the Galleries of Modern London in the Museum of London, thanks to the use of QR Codes captions which have been added to each exhibit on which the young participants decided to focus in their films. From now on, when looking at the object in question, the public will be encouraged to upload the films, by scanning with their smart phone the QR Code placed alongside the exhibit.

2 of our films have made it to the international Plural+ Jury

Breaking into the Museum is showcased on ARTE Creative, a new online platform set up by broadcaster ARTE to promote interesting initiatives and new talents in Europe.

The round table took place in the beautiful museum Chester Beatty Librairy, is part of a FOMACS initiative, entitled 'Crossing Cultures - Dublin City Dialogues'
