Every year, our festival attracts artists working across an astonishing array of moving-image formats while probing the limits of collage, remix, <em>d\u00e9tournement<\/em>, and more. The raw material for their work derives from the abundant new sources of audiovisual media to have surfaced in recent decades, from official state and commercial archives to vernacular collections, <em>home movie<\/em> repositories, and digital databases. By recontextualizing and otherwise refashioning these pre-existing materials, such works generate novel juxtapositions and recombinations, producing ideas and meanings that were unintended or unimagined by the original makers. These remarkable works, in other words, are &#8220;inappropriate&#8221; in the profoundest sense of the term.<br \/>\nThis program \u2013 drawn from numerous editions of the festival \u2013 brings together works that animate paper cutouts of artists renderings of women&#8217;s bodies,<br \/>\nre-edit luminous Super8 film, digitally alter an archival photograph into a meditation on time&#8217;s passage, insert contemporary images into footage of an old television show, rapidly alternate stereoscopic images from a medical textbook, unearth a dated commercial for refrigerator d\u00e9cor for purposes of critical montage, place a Hollywood actress within a nightmarish landscape, rotoscope home movie images to ghostly effect, and recombine snippets of 1950s radio plays for comedic and uncanny ends. This compilation of stand-out films from the first decade of the Festival of (In)appropriation strives to evince the remarkable range, sophistication, and critical impact of this vital aesthetic practice.<\/p>\n<p>Jaimie Baron<br \/>\n<em>Director of Festival of (In)Appropriation<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;130357&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Lying Women<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nDeborah Kelly \/ Australia \/ 4\u2019 \/ 2016<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Sand<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nBrice Bowman \/ Usa \/ 9\u2019 \/ 2015<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Derivation of the mean lifetime<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nPhoebe Tooke \/ Usa \/ 9\u2019 \/ 2015<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I For NDN<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nClint Enns, Darryl Nepina \/ Canada \/ 2\u2019 \/ 2011<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">8th October 2016<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nP\u00e9ter Lichter \/ Hungary \/ 2\u2019 \/ 2017<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Speechless<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nScott Stark \/ Usa \/ 13\u2019 \/ 2008<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Intermittent Delight<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nAkosua Adoma Owusu \/ Usa \/ 4\u2019 \/ 2006<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Night Hunter<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nStacey Steers \/ Usa \/ 15\u2019 \/ 2010<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ghost of Yesterday<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nTony Gault \/ Usa \/ 5\u2019 \/ 2012<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Retrocognition<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nEric Patrick \/ Usa \/ 18\u2019 \/ 2012<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][uncode_share layout=&#8221;multiple&#8221; bigger=&#8221;yes&#8221; separator=&#8221;yes&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-t-top&#8221; title=&#8221;share&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;115430&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;6990&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;162921&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6992,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[83],"class_list":["post-6988","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-best-of-fest-2025-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unarchivefest.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/6988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unarchivefest.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unarchivefest.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unarchivefest.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unarchivefest.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6988"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/unarchivefest.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/6988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7488,"href":"https:\/\/unarchivefest.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/6988\/revisions\/7488"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unarchivefest.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unarchivefest.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unarchivefest.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=6988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
