The Venice Institute of Contemporary Art “Fine Arts Film Festival, Venice, California” will be held June 8-14, 2020 online using the Vimeo platform. Over 90 films have been selected from all over the world, included are world premieres.
The Fine Arts Film Festival (founded by Estonian Jüri Koll) is dedicated to presenting the finest new films about art in the western capital of the art world – and now globally to highlight the world art community.
The films — narratives, documentaries, experimental, and hybrid genres — tell stories about how art is made, how artists survive, how they think and work, and what makes creativity our most important skill, and best hope for mankind.
“Considering the world situation, the fact that we received so many more submissions this year, and are able to select so many more films is very gratifying.
We’ve had to pivot quickly to get this online with permission from all the filmmakers. We are very proud to be screening many great and never-before-seen films with fine filmmakers from around the world.
Films about art and creativity are a labor of love, and the film and art worlds have always intertwined. It’s easily forgotten how much blood, sweat, and tears go into the work we do.
We expect this festival will amaze audiences with intelligent, cutting edge, eloquent, passionate, and fun films.” says Jüri Koll, Founder and Director of the Venice Institute of Contemporary Art (ViCA), which produces the Festival as part of its exhibition programs.
The Awards Ceremony will be presented online on Satur-day, June 13. The Official Selections of the VR section of FAFF 2020 will be announced shortly.
