Video Art Festival Miden
Video art… strikes back!

Video Art Festival Miden is ready to strike again this summer inviting us on a journey to the visual universe of contemporary global video-creation. An adventurous as much as delightful trip to the thoughts and quests of the
avant-garde video-artists of the new generation who reflect the most sharp and interesting trends of contemporary
art.

Festival Miden takes place at the traditional neighborhoods of Kalamata’s Historic Centre, at Amfias square, in July 8-10, with free entrance.

In its sixth realization, more than 800 videos were submitted from every part of the world. During the three nights of the festival a selection of 181 videos will be presented, including tributes to foreign festivals and art-groups and interactive programs and installations.
