IMPORTANT UPDATE
Due to the corona virus, Plokta festival is postponed until further notice. Sending your films won’t hurt us though! We will keep the open call open until 24 March 2020 and keep you informed on any updates.

The 1 Euro Cinema is a small travelling cinematic oracle that will show you a random film in exchange for €1. This machine decides what you will watch… and you’ll either get a bang for your buck with a short documentary or have to quickly enjoy a 1-minute video clip.

The Cinema features over 40 films made by Dutch and non-Dutch artists, revolving around themes such as tangible media, new social changes and invisible technology. The collection is currently curated by Telemagic and functions as a dialogue piece on new media.

As part of Plokta, a new film festival in Amsterdam that unravels the hidden life of technology the 1 Euro Cinema will be on show during Plokta: Night Mode with Panteros666 + more amazing AV artists (03 april) in ISOAmsterdam.
