In this third edition, VideoNews, published by the Festival as a communication link with the public became a trade mark of the Fotoptica International Video Festival, the only video show in the world to have a video news on its own activities produced during the event itself. Broadcasted daily, in segments of 5 to 8 minutes prior to other programs, it is coordinated by Brazilian producers well acquainted with video language (The fisrt yars, Hugo Prata was the cordinator, then Pedro Vieira in second one and now we have Roberto Berliner, from Antevê, Rio de Janeiro.)
In order to produce news essentially with video tools, the system uses last generation equipement is already been used by comercial TV networks in Brazil, due to its image quality and easiness of use, providing the flexibility needed in news broadcasting.
The videonews program is sponsored by JVC and Tecnovideo.
