Closing thoughts

The 1st Alternative Film/Video Research Forum was held in 2012 under the auspices of the festival Alternative Film/Video Belgrade and featured such notable participants as Dirk de Bruyn, Ivan Ladislav Galeta, and others. The second edition of the forum in 2013 included Branka Benčić, Bruce Posner, and more. In 2014 the 3rd Research Forum will commemorate the introduction of video to the profile of the festival in 1985. This one-day event running concurrently with the festival will gather a group of curators, critics, artists, and researchers for an intimate meeting where papers will be delivered and discussions held concerning alternative works of film, video, and new media art.

The founding curator of the Alternative Film/Video Research Forum is Greg de Cuir, Jr.
