International video art competition: Festarte

Festarte VideoArt Festival III International Competition will be held in Rome in September 2010 - call to artists for short works on theme of 'Invisible Violence'.

Artists are invited to investigate a kind of violence that does not hurt the body, that cannot be seen and it hits you without even touching you. It can stem from the environments that are supposed to protect us, hiding behind unsusceptible behaviour and subtly becoming part of our history, culture, politics. Feel it, disclose it – a breath of freedom.
