The owners of a record player will easily relate to the concept of the Festival for Visual Arts and Contemporary Culture: sometimes it’s the unimposing "B" that is hiding the true gem of a vinyl record. B-Side is tracing these jewels that are prospering out of the limelight. The "B-Seite" festival risks a second look and does not refrain from placing the needle on the grooves that have gone unnoticed.

This non-commercial festival deals with all varieties of modern visual arts, explores media intersections and opens up new perspectives, a different way to look at new trends and developments. Video art, computer art, interactive projection and light design are the cornerstones of this event, discussions, lectures and workshops will complete the offering.

Additionally, the second VJ conference in the South of Germany will be held.

 

The B-Seite festival is made with the collaboration of the representative of music und pop culture of the City of Mannheim as well as the FilmCommision Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar and is aided by the City of Mannheim.
