AV Festival 12: As Slow As Possible is a Festival in slow motion. For the first time the Festival runs for a whole month from 1 – 31 March 2012. It’s the most adventurous edition to date including major exhibitions, over 50 film screenings and music events, weekend walks and an online radio for 744 hours. The Festival takes place at different speeds, paces and times of day across Newcastle, Gateshead, Middlesbrough and Sunderland.
