Please join us on Sunday May 25 at 9pm @ Time and Space Limited in Hudson for a festival of video art + film curated by Bart Woodstrup in collaboration with Hudson Plugged In featuring artists and filmmakers from the Hudson Valley area.

What Happens Next?

The structure of narrative pop-culture film and video has largely become an efficient and systematic process of conveying the story of the film in order for the viewer to be passively entertained. In cinema, as in life, we desire resolution. However, we must remember that the journey is as valuable (if not more) as the destination. All too often this cinematic structure becomes a well-worn path to the resolution. “What happens next?” is an engaging collection of short video art and film collected from a diverse group of artists living and working in the Hudson Valley area.

Each of the artists approaches their craft with a variety of intentions. Some seek to entertain, to some creating the moving image is an experiment, and to others the image represents a personal or political statement. Regardless of their intentions, each of these works relies on the audience to intellectually interact with the work and thereby completing the thought of the work.
