Ybor Festival of the Moving Image
The Ybor Festival of the Moving Image celebrates its third year of presenting a wide variety of exciting cinema with over 60 films, documentaries, shorts, features and live performances that will thrill the critic and novice alike.
This festival highlights artists working not only in traditional ways such as narrative and documentary, but also artists using a moving image component in any medium, especially music, dance, theater and the visual arts of sculpture and painting.
This event also strives to have the creators of the works present at the festival. Artists are available to discuss and explain the technical and philosophical aspects of their work with the audience before and after screenings and performances.
Most of the artists attend for the full four days and festival attendees are encouraged to enjoy direct conversation one-on-one with the artists.
