Video Arte Faenza its a contemporary international video art screening. Started in 2018 with screening scenarios in Colombia and Cuba

The first display was screened in May 2018. 70 video works were screened in the programmes: ‘Feel-it’, ‘Abstract-it’, ‘Play Local’ and ‘Ephemeral’ together with the screening of the video work by guest artists Miler Lagos and Ricardo Moreno
