This program is a selection of videos which took part at the Ninth World Wide Festival (Den Hag, Holland), last September. Among them we have the winner: “Father and His Three Sons – The Bartos Family”, de Peter Forgacs, Hungary; for the first part the Festival had participants from East Europe and Latin America. This was possible because during the planning phase of the Festival the following question was asked: “Is it possible that Europe, North America and Japan are only ones to produce interesting videos? “As a result we decided to open the show with 20 very exciting works, mostly from Brazil, Hungary and Russia.
