Overview

Videoart.Ist Screening Program is a nomadic video art and experimental film showcase in Türkiye, also known as Efes Video Arts Screenings. It is notable for its focus on experimental and conceptual moving-image work, including experimental narrative and documentary shorts, and for presenting screenings in different venues and locations rather than as a fixed annual festival.[1][2]

    Excellent communication and very warm welcome! Hope it will grow into community and further travel in various places . I want to especially thank - Tahir Ün!

    It is great festival with excellent communication. Thanks for the selection of the “Ø“ video project.

    A pleasure. They communicated well with me, and provided several opportunities to share my film. Best of all: they translated my film into Turkish.
