	FixC PRESENTS: FIXATION Anthology hosts the Helsinki-based cooperative FixC for several programs of experimental films and videos. In psychology ‘fixation’ means the state wherein the individual develops obsessions in relation to some body or some thing. It can also mean gestures like maintaining one’s gaze in a constant direction, repetition, and /or rituals. The “Fixation” screening is a brief journey through the diverse worlds of the moving image. FixC is an independent artists cooperative, which was launched to generate, distribute, and promote video art, media art, and experimental cinema, and to produce curated touring exhibitions and screenings.
