The month of June sees a new videoart program focused on independent filmmakers on the Streaming Festival. This program - a reflection on today’s artists whose abilities allow them to integrate the cinematic process from writing to editing with stunning results - will take you on a journey through style and independent filmmaking. From the outright eerie but captivating atmosphere and visual techniques of Ashleigh Nankivell "Helping Johnny remember", via the collage of 8mm footage, letters and pictures that were used in the video-essay "Mimesis" to the powerful animated feature The return of John Frum with an equally powerful sound design, made by Christian Schlaeffer.

The program emphasizes the medium of digital video and computer based editing software as a means of expression and communication. The purpose of this exhibition is to survey, inspire, expose, and raise the awareness of motion related art through the medium of video. The works have been composed to watch in a chronological order. The order itself promotes the creative potential of each viewer, thus forcing them into taking inspired action. The works exhibited feature an array styles and techniques of both established and emerging artists.

This months program is based on a contrasting perspective, the purpose of which is to give insight into how documentaries are made and stories are told. The films each have their own style and use cinematic creativity to capture reality. Naturally the artists’ viewpoints differ from each other, whether in their subjects or in the way they created their work. This program is not only about presenting various methods used to record and show reality, but it’s also about promoting the filmmakers and their works.

On 20 November the Streaming Festival, and its offline counter program: "Streaming Stills" were opened in the BH139 gallery in The Hague, the Netherlands.

The Streaming Festival is broadcasting the July film program: Between the frames (28 minutes).

Beginning in May 2009 the Streaming Festival will screen a special online program for the duration of one month.
Each month the program has a different perspective and theme. To celebrate this development an offline screening of the first Special Program Fragments takes place in Geborgen Kamers, The Hague, Netherlands.
