FIKTIVA Media-Art Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
FIKTIVA Media-Art Festival is a Düsseldorf-based media-art festival that combines film, video art, performances, music, and visual art in an interactive urban parcours format. It is notable for blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction, using free-access public spaces in Düsseldorf’s Old Town alongside screenings at the Filmmuseum Düsseldorf, and for presenting international short films and feature-length works from a wide range of countries. The festival is part of the city’s interdisciplinary film and media-art scene rather than a conventional commercial festival circuit, and it emphasizes experimental, cross-arts presentation and audience participation.
