MEDIA RELEASE 1. AUGUST 2011

“We see the participation on an international platform for exchange of artistic and creative thought, as paramount. We are thrilled to launch NEW SCREEN NEW-CASTLE 
in Newcastle. Taking into account the historic relationship between the North East and Scandinavia there could be no better time to build a relationship between not only North East and Norwegian artists but also international artists. The current richness and vibrancy that exists in the North East art scene is very exciting, and has provided us with a fantastic opportunity to create this dialogue.”
Audhild Dahlstrøm Director and Founder of NABROAD 
and 
Producer of  NEW SCREEN NEW-CASTLE

"We are proud to present a varied program of video art including international and Norwegian artists in Newcastle. These artists’ works are coloured with subjectivity and experimentation, searching for new possible forms, subjects and languages. NEW SCREEN NEW-CASTLE is a great initiative that aims to stimulate artistic exchange and critical thinking.” 
Margarida Paiva Director and Founder of Oslo Screen Festival and 
Producer of  NEW SCREEN NEW-CASTLE

Festival producers NABROAD and Oslo Screen Festival are proud to announce the program for the first NEW SCREEN NEW-CASTLE in Newcastle Upon Tyne. NEW SCREEN NEW-CASTLE is a Festival of Video Art, and a creative international dialogue, which could see this festival take place regularly in the coming years. NEW SCREEN NEW-CASTLE introduces a lineup of short films and video works at its festival premiere in Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) 09-11. September 2011. Artists from Finland, USA, Iran, India, Japan, Canada, Norway, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, France, Poland, Australia, Portugal, Hungary as well as Sweden, China and the UK give NEW SCREEN NEW-CASTLE 2011 a distinctive feel as it explores concepts of the narrative.

Taking place at three of Newcastle’s most unique venues the festival opens Friday with a solo screen by Max Hattler at The Outsiders Gallery and a program at Tyneside Cinema on Saturday 10. September with the Newcastle based artists Duane Hopkins and Henna-Riikka Halonen alongside international artists in a daylong screening program. The main program

The Outsiders takes us back to the roots and ethos of what Steve Lazarides set up back in 2006 with his first gallery; a space catering for art enthusiasts at all levels. Due to an ever-growing demand in Lazarides Editions, the popularity in the innovative artists Lazarides has worked with and a desire to give exposure to unknown artists, it was time to take the Lazarides philosophy to the next level by merging these collected ventures.
