FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does Video Power do?
We are a non-profit organisation that produces and distributes independent films. We work with filmmakers regionally, nationally and internationally. We focus on filmmakers whose practices are non-commercial, process-driven and experimental in nature.

What kind?
The genre is not a criteria, as long as the process is deeply personal and invested. We have animations, creative documentaries, video art, experimental abstractions, found footage; there’s no restrictions.

How do you decide what films to produce or distributed?
Our films are selected through pitches or open calls. Those happen usually 3 to 4 times a year. We only make an exception for filmmakers we worked with in the past and want to continue to support. We usually support about 7 films a year, but that varies slightly each year.
