4th Annual Video Art & Experimental Film Festival at Tribeca Cinemas!

We are pleased to announce the fourth annual Video Art & Experimental Film Festival (VAEFF 2014), which will take place October 2-4, 2014 at the iconic Tribeca Cinemas in New York City.

This three-day festival aims to introduce New York audiences to the most arresting, provocative and conceptually challenging moving image works today. Drawing from hundreds of submissions, and featuring invited artists, VAEFF 2014 will feature a diverse array of films by video artists and experimental filmmakers from around the world, including USA, UK, Israel, Italy, Morocco, and Iran. Each screening will be followed by discussions led by distinguished academics and industry professionals.

VAEFF 2014 is focused on casting new light on video art and experimental film by bridging the avant-garde with the art and film establishment - a singular force in democratizing the relationship between artists, curators, institutions, and the public worldwide.

Join us for a gala reception with the artists and panelists at the Tribeca Cinemas’ elegant Varick Room bar on Saturday, October 4th at 9 p.m.
