6th Addis Video Art Festival
\n26-30 December 2026 – Addis Ababa Ethiopia<\/p>\n

OPEN THEME
\nFor this edition, the Addis Video Art Festival invites submissions within an open thematic framework. Rather than prescribing a specific topic, the festival will encompass a wide range of artistic approaches, encouraging practitioners to engage critically and reflectively with video art as a medium of flow and flux, both as documentation and as a process of creation. It positions the moving image as a form capable of mirroring the complexities and nuances of lived experience. The festival welcomes works that explore the moving image as a device for articulating current and historical contexts, inquiries, and urgencies. It seeks projects that innovatively interrogate and expand the possibilities of moving-image practice, fostering encounters that provoke reflection, interpretation, and dialogue. Through this, the festival aims to create space for audiences to process, question, and engage more deeply with the world around them.<\/p>\n

About
\nAddis Video Art Festival intends to provide a platform for innovative video art in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The festival will screen throughout the city in a variety of locations including street corners, rooftops, public centers and art centers. By sharing video art in both conventional and non-conventional settings, the festival will reach both the artist community and the everyday passerby. The festival aims to create a dialogue between local, and international artists by encouraging digital media culture.<\/p>\n
