visio – european programme on artists’ moving images

Lo schermo dell’arte presents the fifteenth edition of the VISIO – European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images, a research, residency, and production programme dedicated to young, Europe-based artists who use moving images in their artistic practice. 

The project, curated by Leonardo Bigazzi, will be held in Florence as part of the 19th Lo schermo dell’arte – Cinema and Contemporary Art Festival (November 11 – 15, 2026).

VISIO – European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images has a four-part structure:

1. Mentoring Sessions

Critical sessions and one-to-one meetings will be organised with the aim of developing the projects presented by the participating artists. The invited curators will have the opportunity to study the proposals in depth before the start of the programme and then discuss the various aspects of the productions with the artists. In these sessions the artists will also meet representatives of the project partner institutions with which the winning films will be co-produced.

2. Conversation Room

In this space participants will be able to meet artists, curators, critics, producers and directors of international institutions during round tables and individual 40-minute meetings.

3.  Festival

The participating artists are invited to attend the screenings, meetings and lectures included in the programme of the 19th edition of Lo schermo dell’arte – Cinema and Contemporary Art Festival.

4. Streaming

A work by each of the VISIO participants will be presented online, from 11 to 22 November 2026, on Lo Schermo dell’Arte’s digital channel on MYmovies ONE.
