CULTURE: The 2005 New York Video Festival

This weekend, Scanners: the 2005 New York Video Festival takes place in NYC. The diverse round up of shot-on-video shorts and features includes: "Reflections of Evil," on fear and insanity in Los Angeles; "Animate!," a collection of oddly animated shorts; "Pink Ribbon"'s story of Japanese adult videos, known as "pink movies"; "Music to My Eyes," a selection of music videos from the likes of Spike Jonze and Mark Romanek; "Cop Festival" and "Cop Festival Reloaded," featuring Japanese "cop genre shorts"; and, "Metagraphics" on the edgiest motion-graphics on the Web.

Manohla Dargis has the review.

The video revolution is here and has been for some time. George Lucas, among other once and future filmmakers, is rapidly changing our viewing habits, and along the way, making questions of format increasingly irrelevant. When one of the most successful movie directors in history hijacks a medium for world box office domination, as Mr. Lucas did by using high-definition digital video in his "Star Wars" franchise, it renders the old celluloid-versus-video debate moot. Arguably, it also renders events like the New York Video Festival, which has been renamed Scanners and opens today at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center, moot. Does it matter? Not really.
