International Documentary Film Festival on Art and Architecture

10th edition

Rome | Casa dell’Archittetura | 2016 Otober 17th – 21st

Video Conversations - International Documentary Film Festival on Art and Architecture is now in its tenth edition, the fourth consecutive in the marvellous space of the Acquario Romano, headquarter of the Casa dell’Architettura (House of Architecture of Rome), to take place as part of the Resonances (collateral events) of the Rome Film Fest.

Video Conversations is the only competition for documentaries, dedicated specifically to the themes of art and architecture, in the city of Rome. It is curated by Art Doc Festival Cultural Association and promoted by the Scientific Committee of the Casa dell’Architettura of Rome.

For the 2016 Art Doc Festival is presenting the project for the 10th edition of the Festival, which will take place again at the Acquario Romano - Casa dell’Architettura, from the 17th to te 21st of October, in the same period of the Rome Film Fest. The Festival will go on for 5 days, every evening the screenings will start at 6.00 p.m. till 9 p.m. and all the screenings, as always, will be free for entrance.

The official programme for the 2016 edition of Video Conversations will be defined after the selection of the works that we will receive through the launch of a call for entries. Video Conversations is an interdisciplinary event and it represents a meeting point between different artistic languages: through the documentaries, it tells the endless expressions of art and architecture. The Festival proposes a reflection on how the architecture and art are confronted with the audio-visual medium and how different artistic languages can talk to each other giving rise to particular, original and experimental works. Every evening will be enriched by lectures, debates and meetings with authors, film producers and industry experts aimed to take a deeper glance into art, architecture and audiovisual language.

The works in competition will be selected by a scientific committee specially formed, that will choose among those received through the launch of a call for entries.

As every year, a jury of industry experts will award a prize for the best documentary of each category. In addition, this year the Italian architecture magazine Progetti and the company Ceramiche Appia Nuova, sponsor of the event since the last edition, they will award a special prize too.

Entrance to all screenings is free of charge.
