The 3rd edition of the Painting with Light Festival, Lana Lights, concluded on 26th April 2015. Luce Dipinta Multivisioni who organised the event will be releasing images and videos as they become available. If you were present at the festival we will be very happy to recieve your photos, videos and comments. If we use them we shall credit you and link to your own website.

Projections, multivision, photography, video, music, poetry, graphic design, and live performance, were the ingredients for this weekend event. There were approximately 800 visitors over the three days, with the most popular event being "Watch this space..." at Zuegg on Sunday 26th April. The festival appeared on the regional RAI television and also mentioned on the radio. The link to RAI has now expired but we hope to post the clip here soon.

There was an informal presentation "How did you do that?" which discussed some of the technical production process of creating a building projection, with this Luce Dipinta hopes to encourage more people to create their own.

Collaborating with WerkBank and Jugenzentrum JUX - in creating a youth workshop. Recycling gurus Basurama, from Spain, created a bicycle capable of carrying a projector with power and an audio system, a Bicinecleta or a 'mobile cinema'. The group presented this along with projections during the final day of the festival on the streets of Lana.

Coinciding with one of the architectural projections was a photographic exhibition of the same name, "Street / Straight into Camera" by Ferdinando Fasolo, this is being displayed in the Oberwirt Lana restaurant which also played host to the festival dinners each evening. The exhibition will continue until the end of June 2015.

This year's edition of the event was ticket-less, free for everyone to come and enjoy. Young and old there was something for everyone. We had a little rain on the final evening during the presentation of Resonantia, however this did not prevent people from coming. On occasion we had some delays... waiting for darkness ! We would like to thank all of you for your patience and for coming. See you next year!

A special thanks also to all our sponsors/partners, some of whom joined us only at the last minute, and also to MPREIS for the use of the car park and for accommodating our many requests.
