Videoex is a Zürich-based Film festival for Experimental film and Video art. Starting in 1988, it is dedicated to the genre of experimental film. It occurs every year during the last two weeks of May.

The festival usually consists of a Swiss and an international competition, retrospectives of artists, a program dedicated to one or more filmmakers and a guest program. Besides its film program Videoex also hosts Expanded Cinema live acts, performances, discussions and workshops.

History

Videoex took place for the first time in December 1998 as a one-week experimental film screening at the cinema Xenix in Zürich. A manifold program has evolved that attracts an international audience and the number of submitted film and video works has increased every year. In 2008 more than 1800 works from over 50 countries were submitted.
