INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF ART FILMS AND ARTISTS' BIOGRAPHIES
Established in 1973, the Asolo International Festival of Art Films and Artists' biographies was, for many years, a landmark in the broad and complex field of films and tv programs on the arts, untill it closed a few years ago.
ProgettoAsolo has taken up the legacy of this prestigious project and is now proposing a renewed edition of the festival.
The year 2000 edition of the International Festival of Art Films and Artists' biographies, in addition to the festival's usual sections, will have a new section on videoart, an art form whose niche has also been steadily growing in museums and international exhibitions.
During the festival, the Asolo Award "a Life for the Arts" will be assigned by an internationally renowned panel of experts to a person whose work has significantly contributed to the promotion of the arts.
An interactive show of the more interesting web sites on the world of art-related communication will be organized to illustrate the significant changes that have taken palce in this field.
