DEEP END ART N°1

Ivan Ladislav Galeta | Croatia 2012 | 20´

Statement of Ben Russell:
"DEEP END ART No.1" by Ivan Ladislav Galeta is confident and entire, a living system unto itself. The title alone is a declaration of an idiosyncratic worldview, one whose conceptual borders extend far beyond the video frame. While it is clear that Galeta takes real pleasure in bird and bee, in sunlight and flare, and in time and decay, this is not enough. Lucky for us, "Deep End" turns this pleasure into the very material of video; aided by close-up and audio-amplification, "Deep End" is a fresh-picked apple for our eyes and ears (mostly held in our left hands).

Statement of the 3x3 Jury
METKA DARIŠ, Art Director of Slovenska Kinoteka
STEFANO MONTI, Creator and co-founder of art ex dono
BARBARA PICHLER, Director of Diagonale – Festival for Austrian Film

To all of us the film was outstanding on different levels:
Firstly for its innovative use of digital media and the creative transgressions of its possibilities.
Secondly for its ingenious construction of space with a unique visual language and the dynamic relationship between image and sound.
Thirdly despite its being a very minimal abstract work it incites a very physical reaction and creates the ultimate cinematic experience.
