Festival Description:

International Video Festival Bochum takes place in the time-honored halls of the “Musisches Zentrum” (the centre of fine arts at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum) each may, showcasing  the work of international video artists.

The Video Festival has artists from all over the world, and their joy of innovation in making diverse videos becomes apparent to everyone who attends. One main focus at the festival will be the VJ art. Of course most people only know the VJ as the guy who usually assists the music DJ at the club, but the Video Festival in Bochum brings these VJ artists to center stage.

Furthermore, the short videos, which are allowed up to a length of 35 minutes, can be in experimental, narrative or documentary style. Here there are limitless boundaries to what your artistic imagination can bring to the festival. 

The Video Festival has always taken the slogan 'three days, three nights' very seriously. This is why three legendary dance events take place during the festival, which are by no means lacking in moving pictures.
