This new edition of FIVA sought to enhance the promotion of audiovisual work, foster a diverse gaze in its own jury, and to expand the reach of this contemporary artistic practice. FIVA is held in Buenos Aires, and every year it brings together an updated panoramic of the international video art scene. This is the first global festival to reach such continuity in Argentina, and FIVA is now part of the yearly calendar of international events. Since its inception, FIVA has grown consistently in prestige and notoriety. With is second edition, the festival gained the sponsorship of the INCAA (National Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts Institute, in its Spanish initials) and was declared of cultural interest by the City of Buenos Aires.
