Associação Cultural Videobrasil

Created especially for the Festival’s 18^th edition, which marked the event’s 30^th anniversary, the Videobrasil on TV series aired exclusively on Sesc TV. The first few programs cover the changes undergone by Videobrasil and the art scene over the past thirty years. Statements intersperse with historic images and artwork excerpts, documenting the past and prompting reflection on the aesthetical modifications of video and its gradual inclusion into the arts system. The last three programs are dedicated to the 18^th Festival’s Southern Panoramas competitive show. They feature curators and artists, including the winners, discussing themes, aesthetic issues and aspects of contemporary art production from the geopolitical South, and situating video within that context. 

Over the last thirty years, video and image in motion took up new places, establishing dialogues with both the visual arts and cinema. The program portrays the Festival’s gradual opening up to other artistic languages, consolidating its presence in the contemporary art circuit.
