Open Call

C.A.R.M.A. - Applied Multimedia Art and Research Center - announces an open call for “ARTE VIDEO ROMA FESTIVAL” to take place in Rome, Italy.
The Festival intends to select and present to the public a selection of audiovisual works conceived and produced as pieces of contemporary art.

The Festival welcomes any digital production technique focusing on the expressive and conceptual potentialities of the chosen medium.

There are no particular restrictions about the subject of the work, but a thematic area is suggested through the reference to the “Beyond appearance” (“Oltre l'apparenza”) umbrella title.
During the Festival, selections of guest works will be shown from the five editions of "Magmart - videoart international festival", from Italian works joining "Fish Eye Festival", and from "Schio Glocal Digital Fest", as well as a short retrospective on video art.
