Asolo Art Film Festival (0)

Festival start: 20 June 2019      Festival end: 23 June 2019

Asolo Art Film Festival, created in 1973 as a detachment of the Venice Biennale on the impulse of critics and essayist Flavia Paulon and sponsored at the time by UNESCO as an international model of correlation between cinema and visual arts, is pleased to present its 37th edition under the prestigious artistic direction of Cosimo Terlizzi, appreciated and eclectic poet of visual languages.

The festival has become the crossroads of leading figures (Alain Resnais, Jean Rouch, Luciano Emmer, Ingrid Bergman, Yoko Ono…) and includes the sections “Films on Art” (films dedicated to Art in any form - visual art, architecture, dance, music… - biographies, historical reconstruction work, critical interpretation on the protagonists of Art) and “Art films” (audiovisual works created with any technology used as an instrument of artistic expression). The Festival is now enriched by the “Internet art” category dedicated to works created and distributed for the Internet network, without limit of duration.
