Muestra Internacional de Videonarración A/r/tográfica ()

Festival start: 11 March 2024      Festival end: 15 April 2024

The International A/r/tographic Video Narration Exhibition is an annual event organized by the University of Granada (Faculty of Fine Arts, Faculty of Education, Interuniversity Master's Degree in Visual Arts and Education, and Doctorate Program in Arts and Education). It is a space for all artistic research projects that use audiovisual narration as a methodology for creation, inquiry, and learning in the arts.

The exhibition brings together various proposals related to A/r/tographic Films, including productions from the different research and training contexts of the University of Granada, collaborations with external curators, and selections from this international call.

In addition to screenings, the exhibition program includes a cycle of conferences and meetings in person and online. These events are open to the public and provide a space for reflection and debate on contemporary audiovisual creation and its application in research and artistic training. As a novelty for the 10th anniversary of the event, there will also be an exhibition in the workshop room of Condes de Gabia Palace that will showcase audiovisual and web art projects that use AI as a creative, formative, and research strategy in the arts.

This extensive program makes the exhibition a necessary platform for showcasing the most varied proposals related to A/r/tography Films. It reinforces the need for and projection of these films in the different application contexts and provides an ideal space for the encounter between researchers and artists, which will continue adding new proposals and possible scenarios in the future.

There are no cash prizes

The selected films are screened in the Official Section of the Exhibition and are included in its digital catalogue.
