IGVFest Milan 12-14 July 2008
Open Call: submission deadline Monday 9 June 2008

The International Guerrilla Video Festival (IGVFest) is a mobile festival integrating video art with the urban and social environment. Removing the technologically complex medium of video out of the institutional situation, it is re-positioned as a approachable medium in the public domain. The works engage and reflect the unique historical and interpersonal context of each site in the festival. Touring to different sites each evening the videos are projected directly onto the facades of buildings, monuments and temporary structures. The International Guerrilla Video Festival Milan 2008 will be held 12-14 July in 3 distinct areas of the city: Isola, Chinatown and Corso Como. The IGVFest is open to new single channel videos based on the specific conditions of the areas where the festival will be held. Artists who are active in the areas and artists elsewhere addressing similar situations in a different context are invited to apply. Artists are invited to work directly on site where the festival will be shown or elsewhere with similar conditions in other cities.
