vBrooklyn
A video festival about Brooklyn as a place and video as an art form
Presented in cooperation with the Integrated Digital Media Institute, Forward Motion Theater and Harvestworks
The vBrooklyn video-festival documents Brooklyn, NY’s, evolving cityscape, culture and people with contemporary video-art. The festival presents innovative and entertaining video-artists through live video-performances and screenings. Brooklyn’s urban development and population have hit critical-mass — vBrooklyn asks video-artists to tape the borough as it permanently transforms, building a visual historic record through personal interpretation and documentation.
