This year’s Video Art and Experimental Film Festival (VAEFF) was filled with thought-provoking films, panel discussions, and so many talented artists. Starting with the Opening Night Ceremony at the iconic Cinema Village, artists from around the globe came together to share their art with fellow creatives and get a taste of what was in store for the rest of the festival. The full screenings of the festival’s curated programs took place over the following days at Cinema Village and featured insightful Q&As where the artists discussed their creative processes, shared behind-the-scenes stories, and reflected on the state of contemporary filmmaking. We deeply thank all the artists and attendees who made VAEFF such a magical weekend this year.
