Videonale

Videonale is an annual international festival and competition for art videos in Bonn, Germany, held since 1984.

History

Since its beginnings, the festival has constantly been altered. Apart from the competition, the Videonale presents a large exhibition of installation art and panel discussions on current topics in media art. Germany’s media academies and media centres and their contributions to the further development of media art are discussed.

Since 1993 the event, Videonale Intermezzo, has been organized in close cooperation with the Videonale. A series of lectures on the history of media art entitled "Elektronenströme" has been run since 1995, which scrutinizes aspects of art history and media theory. Together with the Bonner Kunstverein and the Bonner Kinemathek (cinema in the Brotfabrik), the Videonale has organized events and brought its programs to other museums in various cities, as for example to the Museum Ludwig in Cologne in 2003.
