VAF 2012
• the next edition of the festival was planned for autumn 2012.
• while we still hope we will be able to realize the project in Damascus, the alternative idea was born to turn the festival into a “nomadic” event, at least temporarily and in this way provide a platform for the festival to exist elsewhere and present a focus on artistic and cultural practice in syria in its regional and international context.
• besides the screenings of short films, documentaries, feature films and the presentation of installations, discussions, lectures and artists’ talks will explore new opportunities for artists and film makers within the changing realities in the region.
