In October, Freewaves, a global arts organization, will present “Hollywould,” its 11th festival of new media art along Hollywood Blvd. in the heart of Hollywood, California. For five days and nights – from Thursday, October 9 through Monday, October 13, 2008 – the festival will showcase 160 experimental videos, films and media art from around the world on the Freewaves web site and on the iconic Walk of Fame.
The festival will transform the world-famous boulevard into a massive, multi-faceted screening room. Selected works will be activated by live events, displayed on LCD screens inside stores and installed in storefront windows.
Special events, screenings, and site-specific happenings – most free unless otherwise noted – will take place at various venues such as LACE, American Cinematheque’s Egyptian Theatre, the Roosevelt Hotel, the Musicians Institute, and the Knitting Factory as well as portals connected to the festival’s unique web-based content.
