VAEFF 2018 Trailer

For the 2018 festival, VAEFF will be bringing back the popular “Beauty, Sex & Shame” program for its fifth year. We will also be bringing back last year’s “On the Margins” program, and for the second year, guest curator Niccolo Montanari will be curating a “Fashion & Music – Special Selection” program. A fourth, new program will be making its debut this year: “Color, Movement & Space.”
