From 9 to 10 May 2025, the Videonale invites art academies from Alfter, Berlin, Cologne, Paris and Leipzig to come together as part of VIDEONALE.20. The HGB Leipzig is represented by the expanded cinema class of Prof. Clemens von Wedemeyer and Mareike Bernien. The aim of the programme is to become familiar with the Videonale as a festival for video and time-based art forms and its structure, to be able to take individual time for the 26 works of the VIDEONALE.20, to promote the exchange of students from different universities, to present their own works and to enter into a joint discussion about resilience in art creation and the phenomenon of perseverance.

The screening on 9 May and 10 May will take place at the Schaumburg, Hochstadenring 49 A, Bonn Nordstadt. The Schaumburg is a former workshop hall that is used as an exhibition and event venue. The screenings are open to the public and can be attended free of charge without registration.

We are celebrating VIDEONALE.20 and thus 40 years of festival history as a major festival of encounters with video art and its makers. 26 international historical and contemporary works of video art can be seen from 11 April to 18 May 2025 in an elaborate exhibition presentation at the Kunstmuseum Bonn and at six exhibition stations in the city of Bonn. The Kunstmuseum and the stations in the city form the VIDEONALE.20 route, which can be explored individually with the Videonale city map or together on guided tours and guided walks.
