Digital Media Gallery
October 28 – November 6
Throughout the Downtown Mall and Across the U.Va. Arts Grounds
Discover this year’s third annual Digital Media Gallery, a space designed to present, explore and celebrate experimental film. Created within the genre of contemporary film and video projection art, the gallery is curated by Kevin Everson, as well as local filmmakers “Squid and Beard” of The Bridge: Progressive Arts Initiative. This year we are exploring a new arena for the Digital Media Gallery in order to reach a larger audience and further integrate the festival into the local arts community. For one week, the Digital Media Gallery can be viewed through a series of outdoor projections all along the Downtown Mall and U.Va. Arts Grounds. A map and pamphlet guide of the gallery will be available at projection sites and Festival Headquarters.
