Video Association of Dallas

VideoFest (VideoFest.org) is now the oldest and largest video festival in the United States and continues to garner critical and popular acclaim. VideoFest prides itself on bringing films to the theater that are rarely available to be seen anywhere else. Films like Experimental/Art Films through its Dallas Medianale, Animation, Narrative and Documentary Shorts, as well as Documentary and Narrative Features and some hard-to-find Classic TV episodes and Classic as well as Silent Films are often in the mix.

That first event, which included two nights of video by selected local and national video artists, was a great popular success, which led to the founding of the Dallas Video Fest (DVF) in 1987. Dallas VideoFest also presents North Texas Universities Film Festival, Dallas Medianale, Three Star Cinema, Frame of Mind on KERA, and other programs throughout the year. DVF is a multi-disciplinary arts organization supporting emerging and innovative creative professionals through our annual film festival, Kovacs Award, CatFest, community cinema, and an extensive community engagement program.
