23nd Annual VideoFest– Sept. 23-26, 2010
Dallas, TX – The 23nd Annual VideoFest will be at the Angelika Film Center Sept. 23-26,2010. The oldest and largest video and film festival in the nation, VideoFest shows a diverse range of works by regional, national and international video and film artists that are hard to find at the local video store, the movie theater or on Netflix. Because VideoFest is different than a traditional film festival or just going to a movie, expect something different! For the third year in a row, the VideoFest will be presented thru I-Tunes. VideoFest is presented by Video Association of Dallas.
Patrons may purchase day passes ($25 or $35 depending on day) or All-Festival passes ($75) for over 150 programs making this Festival the best deal in town. Buy tickets online in advance or at the door day of show. Visit www.videofest.org for more information or call 214-428-8700. Sponsors include HBO, Kodak, Texas Film Commission, Dallas Film Commission, Dallas Film Society, City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs, and Texas Commission on the Arts.
ABOUT VIDEOFEST
VideoFest is now the oldest and largest video festival in the United States, and continues to garner critical and popular acclaim. Since 1986, VideoFest 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 VideoFest 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.
ABOUT VIDEO ASSOCIATION OF DALLAS
The mission of the Video Association is to promote an understanding of video as a creative medium and cultural force in our society, and to support and advance the work of Texas artists working in video and the electronic arts. The Video Association of Dallas (VAD) is a 501(c)(3) organization incorporated on April 25, 1989.
