about the festival

Organized by Wigged Productions, the Festival for Art on Film was created to foster new ways of thinking about the relationship between the arts and moving image media, and to encourage critical analysis of media productions. The festival showcases documentaries on art and artists and media works that interpret dance, music, poetry and visual art.

The festival is hosted by the College of Fine and Applied Arts at The University of Akron. Selections from the Festival for Art on Film are also showcased at the Subtropics Experimental Music and Sound Art Festival in Miami, Florida.
