Gjon Mili International Video Art Festival
Residency Program 2027
An international residency dedicated to video art, short film, documentary, and experimental practices including VR, immersive art, moving image, expanded cinema, and new media, developed as part of the Gjon Mili International Video Art Festival.

Inspired by the growing international presence of the Gjon Mili International Video Art Festival, the only festival of its kind in Albania, and its expanding network of artists, curators, and unconventional festival locations, the residency invites contemporary artists and experimental creators to develop works in dialogue with landscape, memory, architecture, and projection-based media within one of the most sought-after platforms of its kind in the region.
