Each year festival curators Tom van Vliet and Remco Vlaanderen do an extensive sweep through new video work from around the globe. After careful consideration, they have made a selection, which is on show in the World Wide Main programme. World Wide Main consists of eleven programmes showing recent international videos.
When curating such a variety of works, bringing them together in themed programmes sometimes seems arbitrary. But in doing so trends and insights do emerge.
Some of the artists will be present during the screening and will be introduced by moderator Renata Banasova.

A varied selection of short productions that we think are interesting, moving, innovative or aesthetically appealing. In an age dominated by digital video, artists increasingly apply the properties characterisric of cinema.

The videos in this programme have black humour and a satyrical outlook on life and art in common.

An analytical and a personal vision on relationships and friendship or the lack thereof by Jennifer Reeder and Breda Beban. Preceded by a poetic video by Petra Lindholm.
World Wide Main 4

Videos about travel in the widest sense of the word. What is this typical human urge to travel, to go forward?
World Wide Main 5

American artists who offer a different view on historic and recent events and create new narratives by reconfiguring facts and fiction.
