FOKUS Art Video Festival

Put your streaming services on hold, and find a new FOKUS with video art that steers clear of the mainstream! Once again this year, FOKUS moves beyond the usual framework of the exhibition format, out into the cityscape and into your phone or tablet. FOKUS art festival invites everyone to submit videos : both established artists and new talents are encouraged to participate. The edition of this year will take place 28 February - 31 March 2019. FOKUS 2019 delivers video art beyond the traditional art context, into public spaces and on your personal screen (mobile, computer, tablet). The 10 best videos submitted to the open call will be available through our online platform to an international audience during the festival period. Furthermore the video works will be screened at selected venues. All submitted videos are considered by a professional jury. Jury The Jury of FOKUS 2018 was composed by the writer and film director Annika Berg, the film director and journalist Søren Høy, the visual artist ad film maker Lærke Lauta, the exhibition co-ordinator at Nikolaj Kunsthal Helene Nyborg Bay and the Head of Nikolaj Kunsthal Andreas Brøgger.
