International Festival Television Network is a performance project which address the performance of television in society as a productive force (the group extended to four people perform TV team) and simultaneously is an inquiry into power structures, modes of production and circulation, as well as the forces governing reliability and distribution.
IFtv dives headless into the clichés of TV producing a mixture of naïve seriosity and happy dilettantism. In a series of episodes produced in different local contexts IFtv look into such original concepts as the local
kitchen, beach life, forgotten villages and car nostalgia. IFtv is a production of informatic TV in situ which work on the generic of television in relation to format and templates. IFtv is a project that proves TV wrong by doing TV precisely as it should be.

The first production created by International Festival was made under the framework of Borderline Academy in Tarifa, Spain, in June 2005. Over five days the same amount of episodes were created by the team of four people.
The episodes were distributed on several video-blogs - www.international-festival.blogspot.com/www.borderlineacademy.org - and were boradcasted on local television in Spain. In August 2005 the episodes were furhter broadcasted on the local television channel Oppna Kanalen/Good TV in Stockholm.
IFtv will during the autumn 2005 continue creating further episodes. A series of travel reportages will focus on industrial showrooms.
