University's Brooklyn campus (in NYC, USA), under the sponsorship of the
Integrated Digital Media Institute (IDMI).

About the festival:

- The vBrooklyn video-festival documents Brooklyn, NY, USA's, evolving
cityscape, culture and people with contemporary video-art.

- Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough and would be the United
States' fourth largest city if independent. It's undergoing a period of
intense transformation, both physically and culturally, as more people move
into the borough and development hits critical mass.

- vBrooklyn is asking video-artists to tape the borough before it
permanently transforms, building a dynamic historic record through personal
interpretation and literal documentation.

- vBrooklyn maintains a focus on urban landscape while including works about
the people and experiences that make Brooklyn a uniquely strong,
identifiable city within a city.
