web: www.kuryevideo.org

This year, Kurye International Video Festival will take place under  
its own name and with its new structure at Aksanat between June 2-12.  
Over the past three years, Kargart International Video Festival  
featured more than 200 videos by 23 artists from 23 countries under  
the management and content supervision of Kurye Video Organization.  
Kurye has also organized numerous events both in Turkey and abroad and  
has compiled the most extensive international video archive of Turkey.  
This year, by starting a cooperation with one of the most important  
art institutions of Turkey-Aksanat, Kurye is taking yet another big  
step towards becoming the most notable video festival of Turkey and in  
a couple of years one of the most notable festivals of the world.

The main aim of Kurye International Video Festival is to promote  
Istanbul as a center of attraction as a festival scene by focusing on  
the rising stars of the contemporary art world – video art and new  
media. It also strives to set a new standard in terms of festival  
organization in Istanbul by working with a team of young and expert  
organizers and by putting sustainability before easy profit and to act  
as an example for the use of alternative and creative organizational  
techniques in order to enliven the field of video art.

This year, Kurye International Video Festival will take place between  
June 2-12 and feature national and international video screenings. It  
will also help inform people who work in this industry – or who are  
just interested in video art - through the organization of parallel  
events – numerous workshops, a seminar, a panel and a live  
performance. Starting this year, the festival will focus on certain  
different types of video art every year. This year, taking into  
consideration the developments in new media and video in Turkey, the  
festival organization decided to focus on the following three fields:

- Animation
- Motion Graphics/Music Videos
- Performance videos and documentations
