Dallas Video Festival 25 is coming in 2012!
Dallas VideoFest will be celebrating it’s 25th year in 2012 Sept 27-30th! Video Fest is now the oldest and largest video festival in the United States, and continues to garner critical and popular acclaim. Since 1986, Video Fest has specialized in independent, alternative, and non-commercial media, presenting hard-to-find works rarely seen on television, in movie theaters, or elsewhere, despite their artistic excellence and cultural and social relevance. Even in a Web 2.0 environment where everything is seemingly available on the Internet, the Video Fest provides curatorial guidance, a critical voice in the wilderness navigating the vast and diverse landscape of media, helping to interpret its cultural and artistic significance. The event still provides a communal environment for real-time, face-to-face dialogue between makers and audiences. DVF has shown countless films in the past including the Emmy-award winning documentary “Freedom Riders.” It has showcased work from filmmakers such as Jim Sheridan and Michael Moore and had many notable guests including Monty Python’s Terry Gilliam, as well as television icon and actor Paul Reubens. Call For Entries for this year’s Festival will open March 1st.
Now is the time to get involved with Dallas VideoFest!! This year is a celebration of 25 years of showcasing great films, filmmakers, providing education, creating an environment that highlights the love of film and showcases Dallas’ interest and support of film. We are always appreciative of our supporters as they also have a vision for Dallas and enable us to continue to grow, create and make each year of the Dallas Video Fest a unique experience. This year is going to be our best year yet!
