Festival Miden: starting from zero!

July 8-10, 2010

Festival Miden (miden means “zero” in Greek), the first Greek video art festival presented in open public spaces, is an annual video art & new media cultural event held in Kalamata, GR.

The festival is an independent, non-profit event, founded, organized and curated by a team of contemporary Greek artists, who practice in video art & new media. The main purpose of the festival is the free presentation, promotion and development of Greek and international video art and new media art, in times dominated and defined by “image” and “technology”, creating a new, alternative, peripheral meeting point for emerging and established video and media artists from Greece and all over the world.

Since 2005, the year Festival Miden was presented for the first time in open spaces of Kalamata’s Historic Centre -starting literally from zero!- it has been gradually established as one of the most successful and interesting video art festivals in Greece and abroad and has been a significant point of cultural exchange for Greek, European and international video art.

During the last six years, Festival Miden has been presented annually every July in Kalamata, while has also presented screening programs, exhibitions and collaborations in Greece (Kalamata, Athens, Argos, Tripoli, Larissa), Germany (Cologne), Slovenia (Celje), India (Carnival of e-Creativity, Sattal Estate), has collaborated with hundreds of artists and art groups from all over the world and has established partnerships and collaborations with numerous organizations, cultural centres, festivals, online platforms and galleries in many European countries.
