INTERNATIONAL VIDEO POETRY FESTIVAL
The festival team would like to thank all the international artists for their sublime artworks. We notice that this year’s theme was created by the need of the directors, poets and video artists to speak about the era we live. The audience will meet with many art projects dedicated to the movement BLACK LIVES MATTER, will interact with video poems based on anticolonial and Queer ideas, antiracist struggles, the fight against bulling, arogance, neo-liberal mentality. Many short films and video art works are comments on the ecological catastrophe of our era.
It will be a strong festival dedicated to all of you who were very courageous and strong to face the pandemic.
All of the best will come as soon as possible.
We wish you happiness and the causes of happiness.
