29 SEPT - 02 OCT 2011 LIVERPOOL
In 2011 Abandon Normal Devices invites you to explore the outer limits of belief. Join us in a world permeated by myopic mascots and double rainbows as we ask - are you a BELIEVER? Inviting artists to question human systems of belief that span from the artificial to the animalistic we exploit an era where believing nothing is inextricably linked with believing everything! Featuring UK premieres and new commissions, the festival will situate mind altering art alongside shrines for cult and new cinema.
AND activity kicks off in early September taking you a on transmedia tour of the Northwest through fairs, zoos and markets, in Cumbria, Cheshire and Lancashire. Culminating with an almighty celebration in Liverpool, in 29 Sept - 02 Oct, so get the dates in your diary NOW.

Festival of New Cinema and Digital CultureAbandon Normal Devices (AND) is an energetic festival, taking place across the Northwest of England.
A catalyst for production and experimentation, AND is a call to arms inviting anarchists of the imagination to propose striking perspectives on technological, physical and social normality.
We welcome audiences to experience the best in new cinema and digital culture in a celebration that spills from screens and galleries into the streets and imaginations of the Northwest.
Creating a space where artists, can offer striking new perspectives, and visitors can enjoy and interact with ideas, in a festival that questions the normal and champions a different approach!
“The revolution will be televised, digitised, analysed and theorised if this festival for "anarchists of the imagination" is anything to go by.”
