And the winner is...

After a long deliberation on Saturday 5th September, the jury decided to split the award in two and have two winners, each receiving 2,500 euro. The winners are "Shelf" by John Wood and Paul Harrison, and "as if to nothing" by Andreas Templin. Congratulations to the winners! more...

Because of the low numbers of votes from the audience, we decided to extend the audience voting until the end of the month. The registration video of the screening of the competition programme will be available for one month on the 'streaming' page, and anyone who wants can vote on their favourite video by sending an email to festival@caszuidas.nl.

1st CASZUIDAS URBAN SCREEN FESTIVAL
September 4 - 5, 2009  –  Zuidas, Amsterdam

On Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September 2009, the CASZUIDAS Urban Screen Festival is taking place in Amsterdam. The CASZUIDAS Urban Screen Festival is a new international festival specially aimed at artworks for urban screens. The focal point of the festival is the contemporary art screen CASZ, which has graced the Zuidas, Amsterdam’s new office and residential district, since October 2007. With its mix of 80% art and 20% art-related programming and advertising, CASZ is unique in the world. The screen runs from six o’clock in the morning until twelve o’clock at night; the art it shows is part of daily life in the public space of the Zuidplein in Zuidas, Amsterdam.

CASZUIDAS – moving images in public space is an urban screen arts initiative established by Virtual Museum Zuidas (VMZ) and SKOR (Foundation Art and Public Space) at Zuidas, Amsterdam, in October 2007.

The festival is free for all.
