About CologneOFF

Founded in 2006, Cologne International Videoart Festival http://coff.newmediafest.org is celebrating in 2013 its 9th festival edition in sequence.

Abbreviated CologneOFF, the festival is devoted to present and encourage the creations in the field of “art and moving images”, whereby the focus is directed to art and not to cinema.
Since 2012, CologneOFF is covering some new festival formats like – animateCOLOGNE – Cologne Art & Animation Festival http://caaf.newmediafest.org, exDox – experimental documentary film festival http://exdox.newmediafest.org and 1#minuteCOLOGNE – Cologne One Minute Film Festival http://comf.newmediafest.org. The call for entries is looking especially for submissions in these festival categories.

In 2012, a new umbrella has been created covering the diverse platforms dealing with “art and moving images”, entitled:
Cologne Art & Moving Images Awards http://camia.mediaartcologne.org

Like previous festival editions also the new one will become the basis for the nomadic festival project – CologneOFF 20XX videoart in a global context – aimed to travel 2013/2014 around the globe to the best venues presenting the diversity in the field of “art and moving images” transported via the medium of “video”
