CLOSE UP VALLARTA International Video Creation Festival 2017 is almost here, which means that the hotspot coastal destination of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico will be enjoying the incredible cultural festival once more. This three-day festival will be taking place from November 16th through November 18th at various locations throughout the city. Video art created by both local and international filmmakers will be presented during the festival. This unique occasion brings together some of the city’s most creative individuals as well as innovators in filmmaking that travel to the event from all around the globe. CLOSE UP strives to offer a wide range of video art rather than a particular genre or style, allowing the artists to express themselves through their own distinctive approach.

Background of CLOSE UP

Although the festival is now officially headquartered in Puerto Vallarta, CLOSE UP got its start in Mexico City in 2006. Under the direction of Cuban artist Angel Delgado, the festival initially began as a video art exhibition that was held monthly in a different location, and then evolved into an event that was held during special events such as various festivals, college festivities, etc. By 2011, it transformed into CLOSE UP VALLARTA and has been held in the waterfront city ever since. In addition to organizing the festival in Puerto Vallarta, Angel Delgado has also taken part in many international events and continues to tour around Mexico presenting his art.

The video exhibition festival will take place over three days, from November 16th through November 18th. On the 16th, there will be a welcome cocktail party that will include screenings of the work of selected artists as well as plenty of time for the attending filmmakers and the general public to mingle. There will be multiple talks given by filmmakers the next day, followed by an evening that will screen the videos which are competing in the festival. The final day, there will be more talks and screenings, plus a movie picnic that will close with an awards ceremony crowning the top winner. The closing party will allow festival participants and attendees to mingle and chat the night away and celebrate all of the creative energy brought to Puerto Vallarta through video art.

International Video Art

As a festival that celebrates all things related to video art, CLOSE UP VALLARTA provides a fabulous opportunity to embrace this exciting form of art, from established filmmakers to those who are up-and-coming in the field. From emerging video trends to international filmmaking tendencies, the festival makes it a point to champion this very unique and personal medium. Video art is able to reach a much wider audience than art that hangs in a single gallery or museum, and the festival is a great way to bring it to even more people. In addition to works by filmmakers from Mexico, the festival will include videos by international artists from countries such as France, Argentina, Spain, Colombia, Cuba, Iran, Chile and Poland. With this multi-cultural blend of video styles coming from both local artists and those who live abroad, CLOSE UP 2017 is bound to be the most fascinating video art festival yet!
