Mass medial (cinema, television, video travelogues etc.) and 
non-professional audiovisual artifacts act as extensions of our nervous 
systems (viz Marshall McLuhan, “Understanding Media“) and as surrogate 
witnesses and explorers. The depiction of the city in narrative films, 
documentaries and TV series has been the object of considerable academic 
investigation and knowledge production. The music clip, by contrast, is 
an ubiquitous and influential audiovisual art form in which urban 
settings often appear, yet how urbanity is represented in music clips 
has yet to be fully explored.
One reason for the prominent role city settings play in music clips is a 
pragmatic one. Musicians and the music industry, as commissioners of 
music clips, are concentrated in urban centers. It is cheaper to find 
interesting backdrops on the city streets, right at one's doorstep, than 
to create them in a studio. Another reason for selecting city exteriors 
is many music genres' strong association with urbanity, most notably 
hiphop.

Music videos from Central and Eastern Europe are underrepresented on 
international music TV and in festivals, although much relevant work is 
being produced in the region, also building upon a long tradition of 
innovation in avantgarde cinema, animation and audiovisual presentation 
of music.

The program *Klipzona – Urban Explorations in Central and Eastern Europe 
with Music Video *presents music clips from the Czech Republic, 
Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Hungary and other Central and Eastern 
European countries that use a variety of visual strategies - from 
vérité-style reportage to animation – to document and comment on the 
specific urban developments under socialism and the post-socialist 
transformation. Featuring videos by Borghesia (SI), Ecstasy of St. 
Theresa (CZ), Octex (SI), Batcha da Mental (SK), Berlin Block Tetris 
(DE), Animal Cannibals (HU) and others.
