1998 – 2001
Festival "Dreamcatcher" emerged in Kyiv, Ukraine in 1998, taking its name from Indian mythology, in which exist special "dream catchers" - amulets, hang over the bed that catch and disperse nightmares and keep good dreams, combining magic and technology. During the four years of its activity the festival successfully covered the way from the national event to international forum, which combines different technologies, genres, media and audiences. "Dreamcatcher" develops as special environment for experiment and investigation of new visual communicative forms, giving the opportunity to the young artists and viewers to create and see the screen art, which expands the aesthetic parameters of traditional film and video.
