INVIDEO
INVIDEO- International Exhibition of Video Art and Cinema Beyond -, organized since 1990 by A.I.A.C.E. in Milan, represents a reference point for non fictional video in Italy and has established itself as the most important Italian event in the field of experimental and art video.
Since 1990 INVIDEO has established itself as an international benchmark for the full range of audiovisual production connected to electronic art and new technologies. THE EXHIBITION From the outset, the aim has been to create in Milan a permanent archive of non-fiction art from around the world - video art, research and experimental film and video, documentaries, music, theatre and dance video, portraits of artists, etc.
Thus, year after year, INVIDEO undertakes an in-depth and wide-ranging selection process, after which the most significant Italian and international works are acquired for the archive and presented to audiences at a major Exhibition. As part of the annual event, alongside the rich and varied programme of screenings, there are meetings with videomakers, introductory presentations to premieres, debates, retrospectives, performances and video installations.
During the year, the works which have been acquired since 1990 can be viewed where they are stored, at the Medialogo centre of the Province of Milan. The collection is available for consultation by the public, in particular by students, researchers, cultural organizations and associations.
In recent years INVIDEO has also focused its attention to the promotion of videomakers and their films in Italy and Europe, through the European Digital Media Network and the coordination of European Institutions and Festivals dedicated to "New Images". Thanks to its international team of partners and contributors, INVIDEO today can count on a permanent network of interchange and contacts with artists, critics, industry professionals, broadcasting and production centres, creating a truly global - but never uniform - picture of the world and its mutations, of the research into new languages of expression and new languages of expression and new audiovisual horizons.
INVIDEO is directed by Chicca Bergonzi, RomanoFattorossi, SandraLischi. Coordinator for videomakers and events and organisation Valentina Di Prisco.

Alberto Signetto. Weltgenie. Italy, 1988, 6 min
Weltgenie is loosely based on a poem by Gottfried Benn published in 1948 in the collection Statische Gedichte and dedicated to Friedrich Nietzsche’s 1888 stay in Turin, which ended with the first manifestations of the philosopher’s insanity and the notorious episode of his tearful embrace of a horse that had been whipped. The film is a hypnotic journey that reverts through memory. |
 |
Cyril Collard. Les raboteurs, France, 1988, 7 min
Based on the “Raboteurs” of Gustave Caillebotte, Angelin Preljocaj invents a men’s choreography that develops the attitudes of these artisans in a gesture made of crawling, of falling and of stopping time. Cyrill Collard imagines an eventful love plot, built beyond the silent and physical dance of men on the ground. |
 |
Robert Cahen. Solo, France 1989, 4 min
A lonely dancer in the centre of the stage. A video-dance work created for the television screen. |
 |
Giacomo Verde. Stati d'animo, Italy, 1990, 3 min
A remodeling of Boccioni’s triptych “Gli Addii”, “Quelli che vanno”, “Quelli che restano”. The experimental use of the Paint-box links painting and electronic art. |
 |
Woody & Steina Vasulka. In the Land of Elevator Girls , USA, 1989, 4 min
In this short video created by Steina for the Spanish television program (RTVE) “EI arte del vi¬deo”, the images of Japanese girls on a lift - icons of consumers’ culture- give the opportunity to focus on a hierarchical and very strictly organized society. |
 |
Gianni Toti. Tenez tennis, Italy, 1992, 15 min
Portrait of the notorious tennis player Susanne Lenglen, this video mixes found footage, pictures from the 30s and electronic art. An effective tennis match on our screens. Soundtrack by John Cage. |
 |
Christian Boustani. Cités antérieurs: Sienne, France, 1992, 7 min 20 sec
Part of a triptych on Medieval cities, Sienne describes the Italian city mixing tradition and modernity during the Palio. An amazing portrait of its inhabitants and their participation to the ancient feast. |
 |
Cane CapoVolto. Behind Your Eyelids, Italy, 1993, 4 min 16 sec
Behind your eyelids: shot in Super 8 with, then edited in video format, this work can be considered a tribute to experimental cinema. An intense procession of photostatic images and colour. |
 |
Alessandro Amaducci. Cattedrali della memoria, Italy, 1995, 8 min
Cattedrali della memoria takes inspiration from Massimo Lai’s paintings. A journey through abandoned factories, wars, bodies… Images from several pasts mark the limits of our own mental spaces in which memory lies. |
 |
Giovanotti Mondani Meccanici. Gino The Chicken, Lost in the Net, Italy, 1995, 4 min
Part of a mini-serial about Gino The Chicken adventures. In this episode he has got lost in the internet and he’s asking for help. Gino represents each one of us overwhelmed by the opportunities offered by the informatics but, in the meanwhile, mocks the arrogance of the users. |
 |
Mounir Fatmi. Survival Signs. Marocco, 1998, 12 min 30 sec
The video is constructed as a kind of “non-narrative” story of the language and vital importance of communication. Graphic and geometric elements draw and fill out the human figure, wrapping it in a vortex of whirling letters, numbers, words, accompanied by noises, a lullaby, silences and echoes. |
 |
Monica Petracci. Risonanze. Italy, 2001, 1'10''
A seventy-second jewel featuring the classic elements of the director’s style – a mix of genres with theatre, dance and experimental imaging. This is the story of one of those kisses on the ear that produce a feeble hissing sound in the head. |
 |
Giuseppe Tumino. Beddu Nostru Signori, Italy, 2004, 3 min
Is an intense and suggestive journey through the atmospheres of religious celebrations held in various Sicilian towns. To the urgent rhythm of the song, appears a series of parades, with emotional, adoring, festive crowds of people. Using a keen documentary angle that is careful to capture atmosphere and unusual viewpoints, the video offers us a panorama of a world strongly anchored to religious beliefs, tradition and collective rituals. |
 |
Antonio Poce/Valerio Murat. Nuvolari, Italy, 2004, 3 min
A video poem celebrating the mythical figure of Tazio Nuvolari, sports champion and icon of our times. Three intense minutes at high speed, during which images are amalgamated and come in layers, following on one from another in a film composition full of scratches, slight tints of colour, indecision flashes, the signs of aging. |
 |
Leonardo Carrano/Luca Zoppi. Confutatis, Italy, 2007, 2 min 30 sec
Confutatis is part of a project including 14 short works inspired by pieces from the renowned Requiem by Mozart and is a result of the elaboration and animation of dry, brittle leaves, from which a riot of abstract forms emerges, a source of light and color, which merge and enhance the music. |
 |
Studio Azzurro. Origine e deposizione, Italia, 1997, 9 min 20 sec
Miniatures is a collection of short videos selected from materials used in opera performances in which Studio Azzurro has been involved and composed of images which are part of often complex multimedia shows. The Miniature, entitled Origine e Deposizione, develops a fragment of the Cenci, an opera based on a text by Antonin Artqud with music by Giorgio Battistelli presented at the Almeida Theatre in London in 1997. The fragment of the opera in question refers to the moment when Count Cenci, the despotic father, confesses to the killing of his two male sons in a room in his palace. |
 |
Alain Escalle. Le conte du monde flottant, France-Japan, 2001, 24 min
In this video Escalle enhances and deepens his pictorial-graphic talent applied to moving images, tracing out a story sketched from pictures, sounds, subdued words. The visionary talent of the French artist explodes here in a disturbing and overwhelming work that testifies to the full maturity of his style. As well as being an essay on the visual vertigo that can result from the interplay of various technologies, this video is one of the most touching works dedicated to the tragedy of the atomic bomb. |
