// EMAF is one of the most influential forums of international Media Art. As a meeting point for artists, curators, distributors, galleries
and an audience of experts the festival has a great impact on the topics and aesthetics of Media Arts.

Each year the festival offers its visitors a current overview of experimental films, installations, performances and new digital formats, ranging from personal and political subjects or formal experiments to provocative statements from the pulsating area of “Media Art – Society”. The Festival sees itself as a place of
experimentation and a laboratory where extraordinary works, experiments and ventures are created and presented.
