VII International Bad Video Art Festival
December 18 & 19, 2024; Laboratorio Artistico Multidisciplinare Autogestito, Cosenza, Italy
The International Bad Video Art Festival (BVAF) is an independent, artist-run initiative. The Festival has been held since 2017. Video artists and B-movie fans Natalia Monakhova and Andrey Slaschilin once decided to explore whether something like bad video art exists. It is well known that B-movies have long since formed a unique cultural niche with their own heroes and fans. In other art sectors, however, the concept of “bad” has not been explored as actively.
We are looking for videos that are at the intersection of bad art, bad painting, and bad cinema. We propose to study extreme forms of video art and single out certain works as bad videos or “B-videos”. Join us if you are interested in the issue of quality and boundaries in art.
This year, the BVAF team is collaborating with L.A.M.A. — Laboratorio Artistico Multidisciplinare Autogestito from Cosenza, Italy.
We are looking for works that meet any of the following criteria:
Technically poor (low resolution, over-/underexposed, unstabilized, wrong focus, poor sound or no sound at all, bad editing, wrong color correction);
Lacking content (irrelevant, empty, shot just for the sake of it, without any purpose, idea, or concept);
Consciously/unconsciously exploiting the aesthetics of camp, trash, or B-movies.
When submitting an application, please explain why you consider your video to be bad. There’s no need to send a concept if you have one.
Submission and participation are free (as a non-profit, artist-run initiative, we are unable to offer any screening fees). We do not accept animation, videos made by people under 18, family home videos, or porn. We accept for consideration not more than 3 videos per artist/collective. A video must not be shorter than 1 minute or longer than 10 minutes (if it’s longer but undeniably bad, send us an email explaining why we should accept your video). As this edition is being held in Italy, we kindly ask you to add Italian subtitles if your video contains dialogue in a language other than Italian, or send us an SRT file so we can assist with the translation.
NO entry fee – no

OPEN CALL: “I cry and I cry”:
One-Off Moving Image Festival 2024
We are inviting filmmakers, artists, and creators to submit ultrashort
video works for the festival centered around the theme “I cry and I
cry”.
This theme invites reflection on the intimate and universal act of
crying — whether as an expression of joy, sorrow, frustration, or
release. It explores the power of vulnerability, emotional outpouring,
and how crying can be a response to personal, social, or global
experiences. Due to the challenging format of a one second movie, we
encourage creative techniques and experimental forms of video art.
# one second short
# original material
# no credits added to the movie (it’s added by the festival)
# mp4 web-optimized format
# 4:3 aspect ratio
