AV Festival 2012: a preview

In a bout of double procrastination - I have two assignments due in this Friday, while a long-neglected review of Spielberg's amiable enough War Horse is on its way - I thought now's as good a time as any to write a few lines on AV Festival 2012, the fifth edition of the ever-expanding biennial festival of contemporary art, technology music and (of course) film. Usually a ten-day stint, this year's festival - titled "As Slow As Possible" after a 1987 composition for organ by John Cage - lasts the full 31 days of March across Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland and Middlesbrough.
