This year the EIVV received 1,350 submissions, a record in the festival’s history. From this wide panorama, the curatorial focus has been on works that explore the aesthetic languages of videodance and videoart — pieces that interrogate how to film and create movement, images and sound through framing, rhythm, montage and the interplay of choreography and audiovisual composition.
From 1350 submissions, only 11 works were selected (<1%) and 17 works were designated as semifinalists. Below you will find the list of works selected for this year’s official program, followed by the list of preselected works.
The 13th edition of the Encontre Internacional de Videodansa i Videoperformance (EIVV) will take place online during the week of 19 October 2025, with the display of the selected works.
